Cheese Wafers

I got this in 1961. My neighbor in Montgomery, Alabama, gave me the recipe. I am sure she had it 25 years before that.





List of Ingredients



• 1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  
• 1/4 pound butter, softened
  
• 2 cups flour
  
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  
• Cayenne, to taste
  






Instructions



1. Cream cheese and butter. Add remaining ingredients. Shape into two logs. Roll up in plastic wrap. Chill. Slice thin. Bake on cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
   






Final Comments


These keep nicely--if there are any leftover--in airtight containers. They also freeze well.
