Yield
4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2-1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2-1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
- Pecan halves, optional
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat butter and cheese until blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt and cayenne; gradually beat into cheese mixture. Stir in cereal. If necessary, turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4-6 times, forming a stiff dough.
- Divide dough in half; shape each half into a 7-in. log. Wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap logs and cut crosswise into 1/4-in. slices. Place slices 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. If desired, top each slice with a pecan half. Bake until edges are golden brown, 14-16 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
