CHEDDAR CHEESE COINS
These snacks are packed with an intense cheese flavor that comes from blending extra-sharp Cheddar with nutty Parmesan. Mild scallions and spicy black pepper bring additional savory notes, which play up that cheesiness. The coins have golden crispy edges and slightly tender centers. They're great for snacking on the go, serving as part of a cheese board or dunking into tomato soup. The recipe can easily be doubled for a holiday cookie swap, and the dough can be made 1 month ahead and kept frozen wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in a resealable plastic bag; simply thaw, cut and bake when ready.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, both cheeses, black pepper, salt and paprika, and pulse until well combined and sandy, about 30 seconds. Add butter and scallions, and pulse just until well blended, about 30 seconds. Continue pulsing and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water just until the dough comes together.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a log that is 1 inch in diameter and about 12 inches long. If using sesame seeds, spread them onto the work surface and roll the log over the seeds until lightly coated. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Using a sharp knife, slice chilled logs into ¼-inch-thick slices. Arrange them on the prepared sheets about ½ inch apart. Bake, switching the sheets from top to bottom and rotating halfway through, until golden and just firm (they will continue to crisp up as they cool), 23 to 25 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them onto wire racks to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate for up to 1 week. To recrisp after refrigerating and serve warm, heat in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.

CHEDDAR-CAYENNE COINS
These are fairly spicy, so use the smaller amount of cayenne if you want a milder kick. Pecans or pine nuts would work in place of the walnuts.Yields about 4 dozen 1-1/2-inch coins. Half Cheddar and half Parmigiano-Reggiano can be substituted for all Cheddar

Steps:
- Combine the flour, cheese, salt, and cayenne in a food processor. Process until just blended. Add the butter pieces and pulse until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Stir the yolk and water together with a fork and drizzle over the mixture. Pulse until the dough begins to form small moist crumbs. Add the chopped nuts and pulse briefly until the crumbs begin to come together.
- Pile the moist crumbs on an unfloured work surface. With the heel of your hand, push and gently smear the crumbs away from you until they start to come together in a cohesive dough. Using a pastry scraper or a metal spatula, lift up one edge of the dough and fold it into the center (the dough will still be rough, so don't expect a neat, smooth fold). Repeat with the opposite edge, like folding a letter. Turn the dough 45 degrees. Give the dough another smearing and shape it into a 14-inch log that's 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours, or up to two days.
- Heat the oven to 375°F Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Using a thin, sharp knife, cut the log into scant 1/4-inch slices. Arrange about 1/2 inch apart on the prepared sheets. Bake until medium to deep golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets as needed for even baking. If you like, sprinkle the crackers with a little kosher salt just as the baking sheets come out of the oven. Set the sheets on racks to cool. When the coins are completely cool, store them in an airtight container.
- Make Ahead Tips.
- The rolled log of dough may be frozen for up to a month and then thawed for about an hour on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight. Or bake the coins ahead, wrap short stacks in plastic, pack the stacks in plastic containers, and stash them in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature (or put the frozen coins right in the oven) and warm them for a few minutes at 325°F to refresh them.

CHEESE COINS
Steps:
- Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, cayenne, and nutmeg in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese, and pulse until combined. With the machine running, add milk. Process until the dough comes together and is well combined.
- Transfer the dough to a clean work surface. Shape the dough into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap with 2 layers of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 4 weeks.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Slice the well-chilled log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to a baking sheet, and bake immediately, rotating the sheet halfway through baking, until the crackers are golden brown and firm in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. (The crackers should not get too dark around the edges.) Transfer to a rack to cool. The crackers may be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse to combine flour, salt, and spices. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheddar; process until dough starts to hold together.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead a few times. Divide into four equal pieces, and roll into logs, each about 6 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. (Dough can be frozen up to 1 month; thaw until pliable.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut dough into 1/3-inch-thick slices; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 1 minute, then transfer coins to a wire rack to cool completely. Cheese coins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
- To serve, spoon a small amount of jelly onto center of each coin.
Tips:
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
- If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or tortilla chips instead.
- Be careful not to overcook the cheese coins, or they will become dry and crumbly.
- Serve the cheese coins warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
