CHEESE CRACKERS
Cheddar crackers. Cheese wafers. Coins, biscuits, straws and crisps. Known by many names and claimed by many grandmothers, they are all the same, delicious thing: a savory, addictive, shortbread cookie. The key to any short dough - that distinctive tender sandy crumbly texture - is the high fat-to-flour ratio, and this version not only relies on butter but also counts on the delicious fats that come from sesame seeds, block Cheddar and even the oil from the pecans. For a remarkable distinction among the many, many versions of these to be found, toast them until just passing golden into brown, and see how that in itself sets these apart.

Steps:
- Add the flour, both cheeses, salt and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until combined.
- Scatter the cold butter chunks on top, and pulse again to form coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk, pecans and seeds, and pulse to combine thoroughly, yielding a coarse grainy meal.
- Transfer mixture to a large stainless-steel bowl. Sprinkle the ice water on top, and knead briefly to bring the dough together, as you would a pie dough.
- Divide the dough into thirds, and roll each into a neat, 8-inch-long cylinder that is about the width of a silver dollar. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, and twist the ends tightly in opposite directions, forming a perfect and compact torchon. Refrigerate until well chilled and completely firm; overnight is ideal.
- Heat the oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Unwrap the dough, discarding plastic wrap, and slice the logs into thin coins, each about the width of a pencil.
- Arrange the coins in neat rows on the prepared sheets, making sure they're not quite touching one another. This dough won't expand or flatten after baking.
- Bake until golden at their centers and just starting to toast at their edges, about 20 minutes. Check them midway through baking, and rotate sheets if your oven bakes unevenly.
- Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. Once they are fully cooled, transfer coins to an airtight container, where they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

BARB'S CHEESY BROCCOLI BAKE
This is a recipe I got from a co-worker almost 20 years ago. I checked and saw many that were similar, but didn't have exactly this recipe. I love it so much and so does my family. Enjoy! P.S. I will add pictures soon.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Start cooking rice until done and set aside.
- 2. Cook broccoli until barely tender. I usually just microwave. Then drain well and set aside.
- 3. Stir soup and sourcream together in larger bowel.
- 4. Add remaining ingredients to soup and sour cream mixture (rice, broccolli, chunk chicken).
- 5. Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Sprinkle with buttered breadcrumbs.
- 6. For buttered breadcrumbs I have used a toaster oven or microwave. Added slices of butter to top of bread crumbs and toast or microwave until slightly melted, then use fork to mix together. The amount of butter and breadcrumbs is to taste. I like a lot of buttered breadcrumbs for my topping.
- 7. Bake 30-35 minutes uncovered.
CHEDDAR CHEESE COINS
These snacks are packed with an intense cheese flavor that comes from blending extra-sharp Cheddar with nutty Parmesan. Mild scallions and spicy black pepper bring additional savory notes, which play up that cheesiness. The coins have golden crispy edges and slightly tender centers. They're great for snacking on the go, serving as part of a cheese board or dunking into tomato soup. The recipe can easily be doubled for a holiday cookie swap, and the dough can be made 1 month ahead and kept frozen wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in a resealable plastic bag; simply thaw, cut and bake when ready.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, both cheeses, black pepper, salt and paprika, and pulse until well combined and sandy, about 30 seconds. Add butter and scallions, and pulse just until well blended, about 30 seconds. Continue pulsing and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water just until the dough comes together.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a log that is 1 inch in diameter and about 12 inches long. If using sesame seeds, spread them onto the work surface and roll the log over the seeds until lightly coated. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Using a sharp knife, slice chilled logs into ¼-inch-thick slices. Arrange them on the prepared sheets about ½ inch apart. Bake, switching the sheets from top to bottom and rotating halfway through, until golden and just firm (they will continue to crisp up as they cool), 23 to 25 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them onto wire racks to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate for up to 1 week. To recrisp after refrigerating and serve warm, heat in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine flour, cheese, salt and cayenne. Add butter. Mix to form course crumbs. Stir yolk and water and drizzle over crumbs. Mix until crumbs are moist. Add finely minced nuts and mix briefly. Pile crumbs on unfloured surface. Wrap in plastic for 4 hours. Roll into 2 logs or roll out and cut. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake 375 F. for 15 to 20 minutes, until light brown.
Tips:
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. Extra sharp cheddar is an excellent choice, too.
- Shred the cheese yourself instead of buying pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent the cheese from melting smoothly.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily shred the cheese.
- Make sure the butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. This will help to keep the butter from getting too warm and melting.
- Work quickly when forming the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cheese coins will be too thick and doughy. If the dough is too thin, the cheese coins will be too crispy.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles. The circles should be about 2 inches in diameter.
- Place the cheese coins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help to prevent the coins from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Bake the cheese coins for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
