Homemade Cheese Crackers
Serves: 3 dozen
 
Ingredients
  • 2 sticks salted butter, softened
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounce block)
  • 2 cups Rice Crispies
  • 2⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • Pinch or two of cayenne
Instructions
  1. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper and pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. With an electric mixer on low to medium speed, mix softened butter and cheese in a large bowl. Once well blended, slowly add in flour and cayenne.
  3. Add in rice crispies and stir by hand until incorporated. Dough will be firm yet slightly crumbly. Using hands kneed dough together in bowl a few times. Pinch off some dough- the size of a heaping Tablespoon full and form into a ball. Slightly flatten with your fingertips to about ¼ to ⅓ inch thickness. Diameter of cracker should be 1½ to 2 inches wide. Place 1½ inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until crisp. Remove to wire rack until cooled.
Notes
If possible buy the block of cheese and grate it yourself. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Store in air-tight container for up to 2 months. Can also freeze a portion of them.
