Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury cookie dough
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese cubed
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Open the can of Pillsbury cookie dough and separate it into portions, then flatten each piece into a small circle.
- Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each flattened dough, fold the edges over the cheese, pinch to seal, and roll into balls.

Notes
If you don't have all ingredients, substitute Pillsbury cookie dough with crescent roll dough, or use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack.
For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter and plant-based cheese.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze unbaked balls for up to a month. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Feel free to experiment with additional herbs or spices for extra flavor!
