INSTRUCTIONS
Cream grated cheese and margarine together well. Have both at room
temperature. Add flour, pepper and salt. Mix well. This will make a
very stiff dough. Put in a cookie press. Using box plate, squeeze
out in long strips. Cut 2-3 inches long. Wrap around dates which
have been stuffed with pecan half. Roll in the sugar. Place on
cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees until lightly browned. This is a
Christmas must at this house. Very pretty and good. Yield: about
