Spicy Cheese

These are SO good and SO easy, I don't know why I don't make them more often. These are savory, NOT sweet, but the method is more like making cookies than anything else, hence the name...

Categories     Cheese

Time 30m

Yield 60 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated (Use orange for these, even if you normally buy white cheddar.)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more to taste)
pecan halves (You want pretty ones ( save the broken ones for something else.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cream together butter/margarine and the grated cheese.
  • Add flour and cayenne; mix until thoroughly blended.
  • Roll into marble-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. These barely spread at all, so fairly close spacing is OK.
  • Press a pecan half onto the top of each dough ball to flatten to about 3/8 inch think.
  • Bake 15 - 17 minutes.
  • Cool completely before eating!

I'm not sure about the cayenne pepper in these cookies. Do you think it would be too spicy for kids?

I love how easy these cookies are to make. I always have the ingredients on hand, so I can whip up a batch whenever I'm craving something sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfect. They're crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The spice is very subtle and the cheese flavor really shines through.

These cookies are delicious! The perfect mix of sweet and savory. I added a little extra cayenne pepper to give them a bit more heat.

These cheese cookies were a huge hit with my family! They have just the right amount of spice and the texture is perfect. I will definitely be making these again soon.
