Homemade Cheez-Its

By juliedee29

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cheddar (about 6 oz.)
• 4 T butter
• 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1/4 t salt
• sea salt, for sprinkling

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until it forms a ball (about 2 minutes). Place the ball between two pieces of wax paper, and roll it out to about 1/8" thick. Using a pastry wheel or small cookie cutters, cut into shapes. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/2" apart from each other - they puff up a bit. Poke each cracker with a fork or skewer so that they don't puff too much. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired (I like the extra salty flavor it gives).

Bake at 350ºF for 8-12 minutes (depending on the size/shape of your crackers), until lightly browned on the edges. Cool on the baking sheet, and store in an airtight container (if they last that long).
