Roughly drop in the butter cubes and use fingers to rub in the butter to the flour mixture. Just roughly rub in the butter so that you get a few pea sized butter pieces along with some crumb like textured flour and butter mixture. So, it would be mostly crumbed with a few pea sized butter chunks. With very light hands mix in the buttermilk and grated cheese to the butter and flour mixture, until the entire mixture is just combined.

Now, very gently knead the dough a little until it kind of just looks like dough in consistency and holds itself together. Wrap the dough with cling film and chill it for about 5 minutes in the refrigerator. Lightly flour a clean and dry surface. Unwrap the dough and place it on the floured surface. Pat the dough lightly in to a disc of about ½ inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut even sized rounds of the dough as close as possible and place it on the lined baking tray at least ½ inch apart. Collect the remaining dough, pat it in to a disc and again cut it using a cookie cutter. Repeat until you use up all the dough to form even sized cookie rounds. Brush the top of the cookies with melted butter. Transfer the baking tray in the preheated oven at 200 degrees C for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown in color. Serve hot and enjoy!
