Ingredients
  • 1 pound extra sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Pecan halves (100 or a little more)
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Have 2 large ungreased cookie sheets ready.
  2. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat cheese and butter until well mixed. Add flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to form a stiff dough.
  3. Form into ½-inch balls. Place on cookie sheets (they will not spread much) and flatten slightly with a fork or bottom of a glass. Press a pecan half into each ball. You will have 100 or a few more wafers.
  4. Bake about 10-11 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for a minute or so before removing to wire rack to cool completely. Good served with white wine as an appetizer,
