List of Ingredients




4 Cups all-purpose flour, measure before sifting
2 scant tsp salt
1 1/2 TBSP cayenne pepper
approx. 4 sticks salted butter melted
4 (10oz) packages of extra sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
5 dashes Tabasco
5 dashes Worcestershire (lea & perrins)


Recipe



Sift the flour, salt and cayenne together. Work the melted butter into the shredded cheese (WITH YOUR HANDS!) Note, the recipe reads 4 sticks of butter, approx. Use the amount of melted butter to produce a consistency appropriate to your cookie press. Incorporate the flour mixture a little at a time (Still using your hands). Add the Tabasco and Worcestershire to taste. Fill the tube of a cookie press. Using the ribbon disk produces a real bite, while the smaller disc produces the familiar squiggle.

Bake at 350 F for approximately 12 minutes , or until firm to the touch and slightly brown around the edges. Squiggles take only about 10 minutes.

Makes about ten dozen . .................................
