Steps:
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Add 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika, if you're using it. Beat well, scraping the sides.
- Add the cheddar cheese and beat well, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Cover the dough and chill well, at least 2 or 3 hours or up to 3 days.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet 1 inch apart. Press the top of each ball with a fork (if the fork sticks, coat with flour).
- Place a pecan half on top of each wafer.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are quite brown.
- Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store covered on the counter. Best served within 2 days.
- Re-heating: I made these a day in advance as Thanksgiving appetizers. They lose a bit of their crunch by day 2, so I spread them out on baking sheets and baked at 350 for about 5 minutes until they got crispy again. Worked great!

CHEESE BITES (TOTALLY ADDICTIVE)
Ridiculously addictive appetizers. I brought them to a party and everyone attacked them like starving piranha on a cow. I included them in a tin of cookies for my hubby's co-workers and one of them ate all of them before anyone else could try them. She also demanded the recipe. From the cookbook "Fix, Freeze, Feast" by Katie Neville and Lindsey Tkacsik. Make them ahead of time, keep in your freezer and bake what you need. I plan to have these on hand all the time.

Steps:
- Combine cheese, butter, flour, salt, and cayenne in a large bowl: knead into a dough.

- Place cheese balls 3 inches apart on an un-greased baking sheet.
- Bake 15-17 minutes if frozen, 13-15 minutes if thawed.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the rolls will be.
- Make sure the butter is cold and the cream cheese is softened before you start. This will help the dough come together smoothly.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the rolls tough.
- Let the dough chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough be less sticky and easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. Rolling the dough too hard will make the rolls tough.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. Overbaking the rolls will make them dry.
Conclusion:
Cheesy pecan rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have these rolls fresh out of the oven and ready to enjoy.
