Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until combined.

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and shredded cheese until smooth.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter and cheese, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet, making thumbprint indentations.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
