How To Make cheddar pennies

Step 1

Shred cheese with hand grater, then chop with knife. Really pulverize it!

Step 2

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.
Step 3

Transfer dough to wax paper. Shape it into 2 logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate till firm -- about 2 hours.
Step 4

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
