Karan's Spicy Cheese Bites

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

  • 1 stick margarine, softened

  • ½ lb. sharp grated cheddar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne for mild

  • cayenne to taste for spicy

  • 1½ cups flour

  • ½ cup Rice Krispies

  • additional cayenne for spicy version

  • Mix flour, salt, and cayenne.

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

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

  • Spray a cookie sheet with Pam.

  • 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.

  • Bake 325 degrees 22 minutes.
