Cheese Pennies

Makes 36 pennies

Dana Levene

The recipe is designed for a food processor and is difficult to mix the ingredients affectively.

ingredients

8 ounces cheddar cheese
1 cup flour
1/2 cup soft butter or margarine
1 tsp. dry mustard

directions

1
In the food processor, put the knife blade in the bottom of the bowl, with the shredding attachment at the top. Shred cheese, remove shredding attachment.
2
Add remaining ingredients and process until ingredients are mixed and a ball forms (~10-15 seconds).
3
Preheat oven to 400F.
4
Roll dough into 1” balls and place 2” apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly to keep in place.
5
Bake for 12-15 minutes. The bottoms just start to brown when done. Serve warm. (This is never a problem in our house:)

notes

The dough can be mixed ahead to time, rolled into balls, and refrigerated for a day until you are ready to bake them. The recipe is designed for a food processor.
