Stir in pecans., Shape into eight 10-in. long logs. Wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm., Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap and cut dough crosswise into 1/4-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are crisp and lightly browned, 12-14 minutes. Cool on pans 1 minute. Remove to wire racks to cool. Refrigerate in airtight containers.

HOMEMADE CHEESY CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Wash all the potatoes with fresh water and cut them width-ways with a sharp knife so that you have several thin chips.
• When all the chips are cut, deep-fry them for 2-4 minutes until crispy.
• Gently sprinkle some seasoned salt over the chips.
• Put the fried chips on a plate and cover with as much grated cheese as you like; I use enough to completely cover the center of the plate and spread it out from there.
• Set the oven to 'Broil' and set the plate close to the flames.
• When all the cheese is melted, remove the plate and set it on top of a clean plate (this way you don't burn your hands carrying the chips because the plate will be extremely hot).
• Enjoy! Goes great with chicken tenders or burgers or by itself as a snack.

CHEDDAR CAYENNE CHIPS

Steps:

• Using largest holes on a box grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 2 1/2 cups.
• Toss together cheese and cayenne in a bowl, then make 4 mounds of cheese (1 tablespoon each) about 2 inches apart in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over low heat (cheese will melt and spread), undisturbed, until bubbling and firm enough to lift, 4 to 5 minutes (do not turn over). Quickly transfer with a metal spatula to a rolling pin, allowing chips to drape over pin, and cool completely. Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean with paper towels. Make more chips in same manner.
