Cheese Pennies

By á-5531

Make baked cheese cookies, or Cheese Pennies, for a homemade snack that rivals anything bought at the store. Made with real ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (16-ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (1-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, knead together butter, all-purpose flour, Cheddar cheese and dry onion soup mix. Divide into two equal portions. Form each portion into a log shape. Wrap with wax paper. Chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, until firm.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut the log shapes into slices approximately 1/8-inch thick.

Arrange slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
