Cheese Crisps

• 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups crispy rice cereal

1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Position 2 racks in the middle and lower thirds of the oven.
3. In a bowl, beat the butter and cheddar at medium speed until combined.
4. Add the flour, cayenne and salt and beat until a crumbly dough forms.
5. Add the rice cereal and beat briefly to combine.
6. Form level tablespoons of the dough into balls; place on 4 large baking sheets.
7. Using a fork, press a crosshatch pattern into the balls, pressing them into 2-inch rounds.
8. Bake the crisps 2 sheets at a time for about 25 minutes, until they are lightly browned; shift the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking for even cooking.
9. Let cool completely.
