CHEESE PENNIES 
1 lb. cheese (sharp)
1 lb. or 4 c. flour (plain)
1 lb. butter
1/4 tsp. red pepper
1/4 tsp. salt

Grate cheese and mix with soft butter. (Mix with hands gradually sifting in flour, salt and pepper.) Chill overnight. The next day shape dough into small balls. Place on cookie sheet and flatten with fork. Pecans may be added on top. Bake 350 degrees until golden, 5-7 minutes. I usually halve this recipe.

Old favorite from past cookbook #1.
