Preparation

Step 1
Grate cheese on grater in food processor.
Step 2
Using steel blade of food processor, mix all ingredients together (two batches in small processor).
Step 3
Chill dough overnight. Divide dough into three or four portions. Soften just enough to roll out ⅛ to ¼ inch thick between two sheets of waxed paper. Using knife or tool with serrated edge, cut into strips 3 inches long and less than 1 inch wide. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 400 degrees until barely tan in color, about 10 minutes; watch carefully.
