Cheese Wafers
It is very important to read this recipe through before starting to put it together. In my haste to cook these for a New Year's Eve Party, I threw everything into a bowl and started to mix it together. The results were still good, but the Rice Krispies really should be added at the end so that they keep some semblance of themselves through the preparation and cooking process.

Fats and Flours
Working the flour into the softened margarine and cheese requires a firm wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment running on low speed. Sifting the two cups of all-purpose flour after measuring removes persistent clumps, guaranteeing that the cayenne pepper and salt distribute evenly throughout the dense mass. Fold the two cups of cereal in strictly at the end of the process using a rubber spatula to avoid crushing the delicate puffed rice grains into dust.Baking and Doneness
Portion the dough into walnut-sized spheres weighing roughly half an ounce each to ensure uniform heat penetration in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven. Flatten each portion using the tines of a fork pressed in a crosshatch pattern, which creates thin edges that brown faster than the center. Watch the baking sheet closely between the 12 and 15 minute mark, pulling the pans from the oven the moment the edges turn a pale golden brown and the bottoms show a light amber color.
