Baked Cheese Crackers
Crispy, golden baked cheese crackers made with sharp cheddar and simple pantry ingredients. These homemade snacks are flaky, savory, and full of rich cheesy flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the cheese, flour, butter, salt, and paprika until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough comes together.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into small squares or shapes of your choice and poke a hole in the center of each cracker using a skewer.
- Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra crispiness, roll the dough thinner and watch carefully while baking.
- Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain crunch.
- Add dried herbs or spices to customize flavor.
