Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a large cookie sheet.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in the Cheddar cheese and melted butter to form a firm dough. Roll pieces of dough into ropes as big around as a penny. Slice into 1/4 inch slices. If dough is too soft, it can be chilled until firm. Place slices onto the prepared cookie sheet so they are 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms of the pennies are lightly toasted and the tops are firm. Allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

CHEDDAR PENNIES/CRACKERS
This is from The Food Network Kitchens Cookbook, chosen for QueenB, for the August 2009 Cookbook Swap. This recipe is different from the 2 already posted, and looks to be a tasty appy or snack. Toppings may be caraway, fennel, or other whole seeds; fresh dill, thyme, or rosemary; coarse salt; cracked pepper; black onion seeds I strongly suggest using a food processor instead of a mixer -- batter is VERY stiff,

Steps:

- Beat in flour mixture until dough comes together.

- Slice logs into 1/4 inch thick coins.

- Press on toppings and bake until golden brown.
- Cool on pans on wire rack.
Tips:
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese. This will ensure that the cheese melts smoothly and evenly.
- Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting properly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Cheddar pennies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these tasty treats anytime you like.
