The olive cheese puffs recipe is a keeper------thanks for reposting the thread.
Would be good with this Jr League cheese crisps recipe. Fab with cocktails, soups, salads.
NOTE: works only w/ Jack cheese cut 1/4" thick....will spread out paper-thin when baked.

2. A Decatur GA, served crispy cheese wafers in a sandwich with lettuce and tomato on toast.
Nice recipe if your cookie supply runs low. Simple to mix together----a basic shortbread recipe with chopped maraschino cherries, almond extract. Mini chocolate chips into the batter might be good. Not too sweet--maybe up the sugar, maybe add a dribble of vanilla. Kids will go nuts for these.
