Cheddar Pennies Recipes

CHEDDAR PENNIES

Steps:

• 1. Shred cheese with hand grater, then chop with knife. Really pulverize it!
• 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.
• 3. Transfer dough to wax paper. Shape it into 2 logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate till firm -- about 2 hours.
• 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

CHEDDAR PENNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• In a bowl, mix the ingredients together one at a time IN ORDER. See my explination in the description. When you are finished you should have a workable dough.
• Roll the dough into lengths about an inch thick. Cut 1/4" sections and set them out on a greased baking sheet. Grease the bottom of a cup and smush them just a little bit so they will smooth out. They can be placed as close together as needed, as long as they aren't touching.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes. I eat them right off the baking sheet, the longer they go out of the oven the more bland they become.

• Cream butter until soft and stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface and shape into a 1 1/4" diameter log.
• Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F and grease cookie sheets.
• Slice the dough into 1/4" inch thick rounds and place on sheets.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.

CHEDDAR CHEESE COINS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, both cheeses, black pepper, salt and paprika, and pulse until well combined and sandy, about 30 seconds. Add butter and scallions, and pulse just until well blended, about 30 seconds. Continue pulsing and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water just until the dough comes together.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a log that is 1 inch in diameter and about 12 inches long. If using sesame seeds, spread them onto the work surface and roll the log over the seeds until lightly coated. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Using a sharp knife, slice chilled logs into ¼-inch-thick slices. Arrange them on the prepared sheets about ½ inch apart. Bake, switching the sheets from top to bottom and rotating halfway through, until golden and just firm (they will continue to crisp up as they cool), 23 to 25 minutes.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them onto wire racks to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate for up to 1 week. To recrisp after refrigerating and serve warm, heat in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.
