Time required: 25 min
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (medium or sharp), shredded
- 1/2 cup Straus Butter, softened (salted or unsalted)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup pecans, ground
- cayenne pepper
- garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine cheese, butter and salt in food processor. Blend until smooth. Add flour and ground pecans and process until blended.
Form dough into teaspoon-sized balls and place on greased baking sheets. If desired, flatten with a fork in cross-hatch patterns, dipping tines in flour if necessary to keep from sticking. Sprinkle crackers lightly with cayenne and garlic powder.
Bake 7-10 minutes, until just beginning to brown. Serve hot or cool to room temperature.
