These savory little snacks are essential to any Southern gathering.
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese ( I use extra-sharp)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 300 to degrees.
In a food processor, add the butter, cheese, flour, salt and cayenne and process until a smooth dough is formed. Scoop dough into a cookie press fitted with a flat ridged tip.
Alternatively , refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes and roll on a lightly floured surface into a 1/4 inch rectangle. Cut into smaller rectangles, about 2 x 3 inches, with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool.
