Holiday Tasting Party Recipes

RECIPE NAME: FREDDIE LEE'S CHEESE PENNIES

INGREDIENTS:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2-1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar Cheese
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp. hot sauce, or more to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
Pecan halves (optional)

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
Cream butter, using a fork. Mix in cheese and sauces. Stir to blend. Slowly stir in flour until just blended. Turn the dough out onto slightly floured surface and shape into a roll. Cover in plastic wrap and chill several hours. When chilled, slice the dough into two pieces. Roll each section into a log shaped like a long breadstick measuring about 1 inch thick. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice each dough section into ¼ inch thick “coins” and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Press pecan halves into them. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and lightly crisp.
