My family loves these more than Cheez-its. I like to make them as snacks. Make sure you refrigerate them overnight, or the crisp just won't be there. Extra sharp cheddar is a must! Silpat mats come in handy for these. Ingredients:
1/2 lb grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese |
1/4 cup butter, creamed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 1/2 cups sifted flour |
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (to sprinkle on tops) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven 350.
2. Cream all ingredients together except for the flour and kosher salt.
3. Add flour gradually and mix throuroughly.
4. Pack dough tightly into ball.
5. Divide ball into 3 equal parts.
6. Roll each into log shape 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
7. Wrap each log in waxed paper.
8. Refridgerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
9. Slice logs into very thin wafers. (The thinner, the crispier).
10. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
11. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet approximately 12 minutes (until golden).
