Ingredients

½ lb - sharp cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons - butter
1 cup - all purpose flour
raw pecan halves, or other nut of preference

Instructions

Add the cheese, flour and butter to a food processor and combine (dough may be a bit crumbly, but it will stick together).
Remove all the dough to a piece of parchment or waxed paper and shape into a thick flat circle. Cover with waxed paper and refrigerate for one hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Open waxed paper and roll out dough on it into a 1/4 inch-thick piece.
Take small cookie cutters and cut out into shapes (you could also take an empty plastic medicine bottle to make circle shaped crackers. Just make sure you clean out the bottle thoroughly first.).
Place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with a silpat or parchment paper). Add pecans or other nut on top (if preferred) and bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on sheet for 2 minutes before removing.
Serve.
