Cheese coins
by Kathy

These are like the southern cheese straws that come in tins (they are all the rage down here in NC)

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 TBSP butter, softened
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Worchestire sauce
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp ground red pepper (optional)

Mix all ingredients just until well mixed. Form into several 1 inch diameter logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (4 hours or overnight). Heat oven to 475. Cut slices less than 1/4" thick and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 -12 minutes. Cool. These can be frozen. Serve at room temperature.

Spicy Pecans
by Kathy

3 TBSP brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 medium egg white
1 lb pecan halves

Spray with nonstick cooking spray or grease 2 cookie sheets. Heat oven to 375. In a bowl mix sugar, salt, paprika, and pepper, break up any lumps. In a large bowl, whisk egg white til foamy, stir in pecans. Stir in sugar-spice mixture. Arrange nuts in single layer on cookie sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes switch sheets halfway through. Watch carefully so nuts do not burn. Remove when you can see sugar crystals form. Separate nuts and let cool. Store upto 3 weeks.
