Copycat Cheese Crackers
Ingredients
-
8 ounce extra sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded
-
½ stick unsalted butter, at room temperature (4 tablespoons)
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoon ice water
Directions
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the cheese, butter, and salt. Add the flour and mix on low (dough will be pebbly). Slowly add the water and mix as the dough forms a ball.
-
Pat the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll each into a very thin (1/8 inch or less) 10x12 inch rectangle. Using a fluted pastry cutter, cut the rectangles into 1-inch squares, then transfer them to the baking sheets.
-
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until puffed and browning at the edges. Watch carefully, as the high fat content of the crackers makes a fine line between golden delicious and burnt. Immediately move the crackers to racks to cool.
To Store:
Store cheese crackers in an airtight container up to 3 days.
