How to Make Cheese Krispies
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine and 1 cup (8 ounces) of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal by hand until evenly distributed.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Optional: Top each cookie with a pecan half.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
