"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.

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.
