Thanks BuckeyeGirl (cool name by the way)
I looked yesterday and just couldn’t figure out how to edit the recipe to add the baking time.
So I and anyone else who is going to try these, thank you big time.

I made these today and needed 1/2 cup more butter to make the dough work for me. I also found it worked better to mix the Worcestershire sauce in with the butter before even adding the cheese. I had trouble mixing the Worcestershire sauce in completely once the flour was in there. Thanks for the recipe!
