2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 lb sharp cheddar, grated
1/2 lb unsalted butter, room temp
1 c. chopped pecans

Gradually add dry ingredients. Stir in pecans.

Generously butter baking sheets or use parchment paper. Cut into

These are DELISH! But You might want to warn Your guests
that these are SAVORY and not sweet.....or it's rather
disconcerting!
