Cayenne Pepper Wafers

Categories: appetizer

Servings: 72

    1/2 lb Gruyere cheese, grated              1 ts Salt
      1 c  Unsalted butter, at room        2 1/2 c  Sifted all-purpose flour
           Temperature                         1 c  Chopped walnuts or pecans.
      1 ts Cayenne pepper                 

Heat the oven to 350F. Cream the cheese and butter. Sift together the cayenne pepper, salt and flour; add gradually to the butter mixture. Add the chopped nuts and mix well. Divide the dough in half and shape into logs 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper. With a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the wafers 1 to 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly colored. Cool and store in an airtight container.

Makes 6 dozen.
