Prepare
- Place sausages in a large skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until evenly browned and breaking into small pieces as they cook. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate, leaving behind any rendered fat.
- Add butter to frying pan. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and beat until light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and whisk until combined, stirring until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Add thyme, red pepper flakes, sage, salt, pepper, and sausage to pot and stir until combined. Transfer the mixture to a glass measuring cup and cool to room temperature.
- Carefully pour cooled gravy into silicone ice molds and freeze overnight.
- To make cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, baking powder, butter, salt, cheddar and chives. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- With the processor running, slowly pour in the heavy cream and whisk until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until it is no longer sticky. Roll out dough to about ⅛ inch (½ cm) thick and use a floured cookie cutter to cut out eight 4-inch (10 cm) circles.
- Remove frozen gravy from mold and place 1 cube in center of each cookie. Place the edge of the dough over the gravy and roll up to seal. Reserve the remaining gravy cubes for later use.
- Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with more cheese.
- Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
- enjoy!
