Cheddar Pecan Wafers

 

 

Servings: 108

 

Ingredients:

1 pound butter, softened

1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon salt

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 

 

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the butter, Cheddar cheese, pecans, cayenne

pepper and salt until well blended. Gradually mix in flour, using your hands to

work in the last bit. The result will be a stiff dough much like shortbread.

Form the dough into logs about 1 inch thick, and 10 inches long. Wrap each log

in waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Unwrap the chilled logs of

dough, and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Place slices

about 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake for exactly 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm and slightly

browned at the edges. Allow wafers to cool for 1 minute before removing from the

pan.

 

Note:

The logs of dough freeze exceptionally well, so you can keep a few in the

freezer and bake up a fresh batch whenever you like.
