                    We used Palmetto Cheese, a South Carolina favorite, in these treats. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 cup all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1 cup refrigerated pimiento cheese  |  
                                                1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped  |  
                                                1/4 cup butter, softened  |  
                                                parchment paper  |  
                                                4 tablespoons strawberry preserves  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Beat together flour and pimiento cheese at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 1 minute. Add pecans and butter; beat until blended. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill 2 hours. 2. Preheat oven to 400°. Place dough on a well-floured surface, and roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 48 rounds with a 2-inch round cutter, rerolling scraps once. Arrange half of rounds 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets; spoon 1/2 tsp. strawberry preserves onto center of each round, and top with remaining rounds, pressing edges to seal. 3. Bake at 400° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to wire racks, and cool completely (about 30 minutes).                              |
