Because it really is personal…

1 stick butter
2 cups finely shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1-1/2 cups flour
set oven to 300 degrees, lightly grease and flour a cookie sheet.
In a food processor with a blade, process butter, cheese and seasonings until it’s a homogenous paste. Add the flour and process some more, until it’s all a smooth and stiff conglomeration. You’ll have to scrape the sides a couple of times. Dump the dough out and knead it a bit until it’s nice and smooth. Roll into a log about an inch in diameter and slice into 1/4 inch thick coins. Place on the cookie sheet and bake about 20 minutes until lightly brown. Put on a cloth to cool. Don’t let them cool on the cookie sheet as they’ll stick and fall apart. Then you’ll be forced to eat the bits, which, of course, are calorie free as you’ll probably be standing up, and we all know food eaten standing up, or in bits, have no calories. Right? RIGHT!

Add as much or as little cayenne as you like. I prefer them a bit spicy. I also intend to make a batch with a dash of liquid smoke, to see what happens.
