Green Peppercorn and Goat Cheese Wafers

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
4 ounces firm goat cheese, such as Gouda or Drunken goat, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
2 teaspoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Green Peppercorns, crushed
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sicilian Sea Salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add goat cheese, green peppercorns and sea salt; beat until well blended. Add flour and water; beat on low speed until a soft dough forms. Gently knead dough on lightly floured work surface.

2. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Gently flatten to 1/4-inch thickness with floured fork, pressing a crisscross pattern onto tops of wafers.

3. Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until wafers are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
