Yummy treat with a flavor similar to the cheddar cheese cracker squares sold in the red box :), BUT more elegant and flavorful. Chilling longer than an hour was better; the harder dough cuts more cleanly. These are wonderful warm from a plate or basket, but for a variation I served on a tray, topped with a small piece of turkey and a small dab of pepper relish. A tiny pear slice (with the relish) was even better. For ease I would certainly make again.
Blue Cheese-Walnut Wafers
Don't substitute margarine for butter in this recipe. The butter makes these wafers wonderfully short and the dough easier to handle.
