- Using electric mixer, beat together butter, Mozzarella and Parmesan (or Romano) cheeses. Using wooden spoon, stir in remaining ingredients. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough, 1 third at a time, until ¼" (5 mm) thick.
