1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped sweetened dried cranberries
2 cups butter, softened
4 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (16 oz)

In large bowl, beat butter, cheese and salt with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Gradually add flour, beating just until combined. Stir in cranberries and toasted pecans. Shape dough into 4 (12-inch) logs; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 3 days.
Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Unwrap logs; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place on cookie sheets. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks; cool completely.
