Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
11/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pecan halves

Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Mix all of the ingredients except pecan halves in a mixing bowl to thoroughly combine.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1⁄4-inch thickness. Cut the dough with a cutter into 2-inch rounds and arrange on two large baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Gather scraps into a ball
and roll and cut one more time.
4. Arrange dough rounds on the baking sheets, about 1⁄2 inch apart, and press a pecan half gently into the center of each round. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until they just begin to brown. Remove
from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
One southerner’s cheese straw is another’s cheese biscuit, wafer, or cracker. Whatever you call it, it’s the quintessential southern pre-party nibble from brunch ’til supper. The great thing about this recipe, besides being crazy good, is that a single batch of dough makes plenty for a crowd plus extra to bundle up as favors for departing guests. Store any leftover cheese wafers in an airtight tin for cocktail-hour snacking. The dough freezes well, too.
