Mini Cheese Crackers

  

May 10, 2020

These are a great version of homemade "Cheez-its".  Our family devours them in a day, but they can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container.  You can also substitute Gruyere cheese with Parmesan or Manchego.

  • Prep: 30 mins
  • Cook: 15 mins
  • Yields: 11 dozens

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line baking sheets with parchment.

2Pulse together flour, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until pea-sized.

3Add Gruyere and pulse until dough resembles coarse meal. Gradually pulse in water until dough forms a ball.

4Roll dough between two pieces of parchment to 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces using a 1-inch cookie cutter or fluted pizza wheel; transfer to prepared baking sheets.

5Bake crackers until golden and crisp, 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer crackers on parchment to a wire rack; cool completely. Store crackers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
