Here's the ingredients we used:
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (you can use the pre-shredded kind or use a grater on a cheese block)
- 4 Tbs of butter (I would soften it. I had mine out of the fridge for a little while before using it but it needed to be softer because it was a little hard to get it all mixed in well.)
- 3/4 cup of flour (we used whole wheat)
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- coarse or sea salt to sprinkle on tops of crackers
*This recipe will make between 9 1/2-10 dozen crackers.

Instructions:
- Put all ingredients into your food processor and pulse until it forms a doughy consistency (I do not own a food processor so we used the blender and it worked just fine.)
- Take your dough out and put it between two pieces of wax paper.
- Using a rolling pin (I actually have one of those..haha) roll the dough out to about 1/8 of an inch thick.
- Using a pastry wheel or small cookie cutter or even a pizza cutter (like we did) cut dough into shapes.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/2" apart from each other.
- Poke a hole in the center of each cracker (we used the back end of a wooden skewer and it was the perfect shape and size) so that they don't puff up too much.
- Sprinkle with coarse or sea salt

I definitely had my doubts but these were delicious and the girls loved them too. Guess what Harper requested to take for snack at school today?!

You know I'm going to make these! Maybe then Kyle will stop complaining that I "never buy the cheez-its" (in other words, he is always burdened with that task... he seems to forget that I bought some from Costco one time. That counts for, like, a year, right?)
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I did home-made goldfish, but I didn't have a great cookie cutter (I made one out of a soda can which was sharp and not very good). These look much easier!
