SPICY CHEESE "COOKIES"



Spicy Cheese

These are SO good and SO easy, I don't know why I don't make them more often. These are savory, NOT sweet, but the method is more like making cookies than anything else, hence the name...

Time 30m

Yield 60 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated (Use orange for these, even if you normally buy white cheddar.)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more to taste)
pecan halves (You want pretty ones ( save the broken ones for something else.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cream together butter/margarine and the grated cheese.
  • Add flour and cayenne; mix until thoroughly blended.
  • Roll into marble-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. These barely spread at all, so fairly close spacing is OK.
  • Press a pecan half onto the top of each dough ball to flatten to about 3/8 inch think.
  • Bake 15 - 17 minutes.
  • Cool completely before eating!

CAROLYN'S SPICY CHEESE COOKIES

My mom used to make these for the holidays. They go well with cocktails or anytime you want a savory crisp cookie. The puffed rice cereal give these cookies their crunch. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your liking. Wash those hands thoroughly, because the dough is mixed by hand! Have fun!
