Prep. Time : 15 Mins
Cooking Time : 15 Mins
Difficulty : Easy
Yields : About 4

Ingredients :
* 2 Sticks Of Butter , Softened
* 2 Cups Of all Purpose Flour
* 2 Cups Of Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
* 2 Cups Of Rice Krispies
* Cayenne Pepper

Preparation :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees .

Mix butter flour and cheese in a large bowl . Would probably be best done with a kitchen aid if you have one but if not , use your hands . Once the dough starts to come together , sprinkle in cayenne pepper to taste . Mix until dough forms one big ball . Mix in rice krispies until incorporated , not too much or you will break them all .

Pinch off dough and roll into balls about the diameter of an inch and place on cookie sheet . Take a fork and press balls down , then press again at a 90 degree angle to first press creating hatch marks . The balls at this point should be completely flat .

Bake at 350 for around 12min . until they are barely brown . Do not brown all the way as they will become bitter .
