Cheese Crackers

Ingredients

• 100 g (3.5 oz) cheese (cheddar, gouda, or your choice), grated
• 100 g (3.5 oz or 3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
• 100 g (3.5 oz or 7 tbsp) cold butter

Step-by-step instructions for making cheese crackers.

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Grate the cold butter, dipping it occasionally in the flour to prevent sticking.
   • Add the grated cheese and mix everything together with your hands until it forms a smooth, homogeneous dough.
2. Chill the Dough:
   • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm it up.
3. Roll and Shape:
   • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
   • Roll out the chilled dough thinly on a lightly floured surface.
   • Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into your desired shapes.
4. Bake:
   • Place the shapes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
   • Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the crackers cool on a wire rack. Serve as a snack or with dips and spreads.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika, garlic powder, or dried herbs to the dough.
• Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to a week.
