Christmas Recipe Series ~ Cheese Wafers Recipe

The first time I had cheese wafers was in Cleveland, Tennessee on Harle Avenue at a small hometown restaurant that has long since closed its doors. They offered these wafers on their salad bar. 
The restaurant would serve their iced tea with a little sprig of mint, which I thought was the neatest thing. We are going to include them in our finger food menu for Christmas Eve this year. 
Cheese Wafers
Ingredients:
12 ounces freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese 1 stick butter at room temperature 1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper  1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Grate cheese and blend it together with the butter.  Add flour, salt, and pepper and mix until dough comes together.  Roll into small balls and flatten slightly with your fingertips.  Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes.
