Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/8 tsp Tabasco or chipotle pepper (or to taste)
  • 100 pecan halves

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, blend butter and cheese. Sift together flour and salt, then mix into butter and cheese. Add pepper and blend thoroughly.
  • Divide dough in halves. Roll each half in waxed paper until about 1 1/2 inches round. Dough will be sticky, so it can be difficult. Roll should be about 15 long and just a little bit wider in diameter than the pecan halves. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and chill overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. After refrigerating, slice dough thinly, and when it has softened just a little, press a pecan half on top of each of the dough slices. Place on cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Watch carefully, as they can burn very quickly. Makes about 100. Enjoy!
