FRENCH ONION SANDWICH COOKIES P. 201

GUNN’S HILL 5 BROTHERS Hailing from Oxford County, the Dairy Capital of Canada, Gunn’s Hill’s Alpine-style cheeses are produced with milk from the Ysselstein family’s third-generation dairy farm. A mash-up of Gouda and Appenzeller, Five Brothers is normally aged for 8 months, but keep your eyes out for the robust 18-month version released every December. With notes of hay and toasted hazelnuts, the rich, melting cheese is a no-brainer for these savoury sandwich cookies inspired by French onion soup.
