List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup butter, softened
  
• 1 lb sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded, at room temperature
  
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
   
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the cheese and mix until blended. Add the flour, salt, and red pepper, and mix to form a dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the dough, then place it in a cookie press, fitted with a ridged tip. Pipe the dough in 2" strips onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool.
