Zesty Cheese Wafers
These cracker-like snacks go together more like a cookie but have a savory flavor thanks to the addition of cheese and cayenne pepper.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter or margarine (2 sticks) - softened
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 oz pkg finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut the butter into the flour until well mixed.
- Mix in the seasonings and the shredded cheese. (You might want to just use your hands to get everything mixed in).
- Finally, mix in the Rice Krispies. When finished the dough sticks together rather than being crumbly.
- Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets, flattening the dough out a little bit - OR - you can also roll the dough into balls and then flatten them out a bit with your hands. (My wafers were about a 1½" size)
- Bake for 15 minutes.
