Instructions: Mix grated cheese with softened butter, margarine, salt and pepper until light. Add flour and mix thoroughly ( you may need to get your hands into the mixture to incorporate all the flour)

Form the mixture into 3 or 4 logs, about the diameter of a quarter. Wrap each in aluminum foil and chill overnight.

The next day, cut into thin slices and press a pecan half on top of each. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet a 350 to 375 F for about 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.

Can be made 3 to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container.

NOTES : If desired, add 1 cup of finely chopped pecans to the dough. Small portions of the dough can be rolled into marble-sized balls, put on ungreased cookie sheets, flattened with a fork and baked at 250 F or unitil lightly brown around the edges.
