Remember those pre-packaged traffic-cone orange cheese beanut butter crackers? The ones that you knew on some level CAN'T be good for you but you ate 'em anyway cause the salt/sweet factor was just too good? I have found a healthy solution that tastes great and come from ingredients ( and colors!) that exist in nature.

Cheese Peanut ButterCookies

1/2 c Peanut Butter
1 c Shredded Sharp Or Mild Cheddar Cheese
2/3 c Butter, Softened
1 1/2 c Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 ts Salt

In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, cheese, butter, flour and salt. Mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Heat the oven to 375 Degrees F. Place tsp of the dough 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
