Ingredients

0.25

0 1/4 lb shredded cheddar cheese 2.0
2 oz chopped pecans 0.25
0 1/4 tsp ground cayenne (red pepper) 0.25

Directions

In large bowl, mix butter, cheddar cheese, pecans, cayenne pepper, and salt until well blended.
Gradually mix in flour, using your hands to work in last bit. The result will be stiff dough much like shortbread.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
Unwrap chilled logs of dough, and slice into 1/4" thick rounds using sharp knife.
Place slices about 1/4" apart on baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes, until firm and slightly browned at the edges.
