Spicy Cheese Cocktail Biscuits

 

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

28 pecan halves

 

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add

cheese, beating well. Combine flour, salt, and red pepper; gradually add to

cheese mixture, beating well.

Shape dough into 1/2-inch balls; place on ungreased baking sheets. Press a pecan

half into each ball to flatten.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire

rack to cool completely.

Makes about 28 biscuits.
