Make crispy cheese crackers at home using only four simple ingredients. These taste better than the store-bought version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the flour and butter mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly, just until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
  6. Roll the dough out thinly, about 1/16 inch thick.
  7. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small squares or desired shapes.
  8. Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet. Prick each cracker once or twice with a fork.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
  10. Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before serving for maximum crispness.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use a mix of cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
  • If you want a low-carb version, substitute almond flour for the all-purpose flour.
  • For ranch flavor, add 1 teaspoon of dry ranch seasoning mix with the flour and salt.
