Savory Cheese Coins

Category: Cheese

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons dried minced onion

pinch of cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well by hand or with a mixer (I used the mixer) until dough is formed. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about one inch in diameter and 12 inches long. Wrap the logs in plastic and chill for 4hours or overnight. When logs are completely chilled, cut each log into about 48 slices (I only got 40 out of the whole batch) of 1/4 inch thickness. Place on a greased or coated baking sheet and brown in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove coins from baking sheets to cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
