How to Make Cheddar Pennies

Step-by-Step

Shred cheese with hand grater, then chop with knife. Really pulverize it!
Beat together butter, cheese, pepper sauce and seasoning on high speed until creamy.
Lower the speed.
Mix in flour, 1/3 cup at a time.
It will be soft.
Transfer dough to wax paper.
Shape it into 2 logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Refrigerate till firm -- about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 325°.
Line baking sheet with parchment or spray with non-stick spray.
Cut logs into 1/4 inch slices
Bake until slightly brown and almost crisp -- about 15 minutes
