Use the smaller side of a melon-baller to make perfect bite-sized “cookies.”

ingredients

  • 1 stick margarine, softened
  • 1/2 lb. sharp grated cheddar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne for mild
  • cayenne to taste for spicy
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup Rice Krispies
  • additional cayenne for spicy version
  • (Reynold’s non-stick foil)

directions

  • 1

    Mix flour, salt, and cayenne.

  • 2

    Add margarine and cheese and mix well. Add Rice Krispies last.

  • 3

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

  • 4

    Line a cookie sheet with non-stick foil.

  • 5

    Scoop dough with a melon-baller, then use your finger to make the top level, then pull them out. (If dough is too crumbly, drizzle in a little vegetable oil and mix again.) Line up on the cookie sheet flat side down. You can place them pretty closely together. They don’t spread when cooking.

  • 6

    Bake 325 degrees 22 minutes.

notes

I make up half a batch with only 1/8 teaspoon cayenne for myself, then add more cayenne for Dennis' half.
