Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons chilled butter, chopped
½ cup hot pepper jelly

Steps:

  • Blend Cheddar cheese, flour, and butter in a food processor until dough is a coarse-meal texture and forms into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  • Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
