"I thought these savory cookies would be a wonderful addition to the Holiday appetizer tray. This recipe is from Just A Pinch. The prep time does not include the 15 minutes of refrigeration. As the cheeses have enough salt for us, I will be using unsalted butter."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse together Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses with butter, until smooth.

Step 2

Add egg yolk and pepper; pulse until blended.

Step 3

Add flour, pulse just until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Place pecans on a plate and place 1 cup of water in a bowl.

Step 5

With hands, roll scant tablespoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls.

Step 6

Wet balls with water and roll in pecans to coat.

Step 7

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment for easy cleanup). With thumb or finger, make an indent in each cookie.

Step 8

Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Bake in centre of oven at 350 F for about 15 minutes or until firm outside and lightly golden.

Step 10

Let cool on baking sheet.
