Roll Out the Dough
After the dough has chilled, divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.

Fill the Empanadas
Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
