Sweet and Spicy Cheesy Thumbprint Bites 

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until fluffy.

3. Add the egg yolk to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

4. In another bowl, combine the flour, shredded cheese, paprika, chili powder, and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the butter mixture until a dough forms.

5. Scoop small amounts of dough and roll them into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced out evenly.

6. Using your thumb or a small spoon, gently press down in the center of each dough ball to create a thumbprint indent.

7. In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce and a little more honey. Drizzle this over each thumbprint.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.

9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
