- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder no aluminum, fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt

- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave and allow it to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula until mostly combined with some streaks of flour remaining.
- Fold in the cheese and chives gently, being careful not to overmix.
- Using a ¼ cup scoop, portion the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet to make about 12 biscuits.
