Spicy Cheese "Cookies" - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated (Use orange for these, even if you normally buy white cheddar.)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more to taste)
pecan halves (You want pretty ones ( save the broken ones for something else.)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Cream together butter/margarine and the grated cheese.
Add flour and cayenne; mix until thoroughly blended.
Roll into marble-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. These barely spread at all, so fairly close spacing is OK.
Press a pecan half onto the top of each dough ball to flatten to about 3/8 inch think.
Bake 15 - 17 minutes.
Cool completely before eating!
