Ingredients
-
8 ounces butter, melted
10 ounces self-raising flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (use tasty, sharp, strong)
1/2 cup desiccated coconut (shredded)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt butter in a large bowl. I do this in the microwave.
Add flour, cayenne and salt. Mix well. You can use a hand mixer at this stage.
Add grated cheese and mix well. You may need to use a wooden spoon to mix. Please use a nice cheese that has some bite.
Shape dough into one-inch balls.
Roll in coconut.
Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
Place on a cookie sheet and bake until golden -- about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, especially if your oven runs hot.
