Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a Silpat.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder until combined. Add in the cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add in the shredded cheese and mix to combine. Add in the buttermilk and mix until combined.

Using a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop the biscuit mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes, then remove and brush with the butter mixture, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the tops are puffed and golden brown. Allow biscuits to cool on baking sheet for 5-8 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
