Amazing Cheese Crackers

 

 

Cheese Crackers....

 

I have been hearing so much about homemade cheese crackers lately. I've seen a lot of recipes on Pinterest and today decided to try making them. With three little girls in the house, we are always in need of new healthy snack ideas.

 

I found this recipe here http://laurassweetspot.com/2012/07/27/homemade-goldfish-crackers/

and only did a few things differently.

 

I used her measurements with great success but I did add a little sea salt sprinkled over the top instead of regular salt in the dough.

 

Ingredients

• 8 ounces (2 cups)  Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
• 4 Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Cubes
• 1 cup Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Cold Water
•  a sprinkling of sea salt

Instructions

Pulse everything (except water) together in the food processor

 

 

Until the dough resembles coarse sand.

 

 

 

Pulse in water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

 

 

 

Remove dough from the processor, wrap in plastic (I used a glass bowl with lid) and chill for 20 minutes.

 

Roll out the dough

 

 

Now cut into the shapes that you want. I cut a used pie plate into a strip and shaped a little fish for my kids.

 

 

 

 Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. I used the end of a skewer to poke an eye in the fish.

 

 

And then I got sick of cutting them out so I just cut the rest into squares and put a hole in the center.

 

sprinkle with sea salt if desired and Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until crispy.

 

Here are some of them finished. They are honestly the best cheese cracker I have ever had in my life. The flavor is exactly like a good quality store bought Cheddar cracker but the texture is absolutely amazing! They are crispy but puffy. It surprisingly made a good amount. I'm storing them in a glass bowl with a lid but they will most likely not need stored very long since my family loves them so much!

 

 

 

 

Now, I'm going to go...And eat a handful of these Little gems!

 

Let me know how they turn out if you try this recipe.
