Monster Eye Cheese Wafers

ingredients

• 2 cups sharp orange shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoon flour
• 3/4 teaspoon Stonewall Kitchen Kansas City or Texas Rub
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 24 Spanish green olives stuffed with pimentos

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Combine the cheddar cheese and butter in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
3. Add the flour, Stonewall Kitchen Rub and salt. Pulse the food processor until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
4. Form dough into small balls using 1 heaping tsp. Place balls on the prepared cookie sheet. Form each ball into an almond shape that resembles an eye. Flatten slightly.
5. Drain and pat dry the Spanish olives. Cut the olives in half and place each half in the middle of the almond shaped wafer. Press down firmly.
6. Bake eyes for 12-15 minutes until slightly golden brown on the edges.
