Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 6 oz or 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions 

• In a food processor, place the cheese, butter, flour, salt and garlic powder and pulse until chunky.
• Add in 1 tablespoon of liquid and turn on the food process until a dough ball forms. If ball isn’t forming, add another tablespoon of liquid.
• Dust a work surface with a little flour. Roll the dough into a ball and then divid it into 4 balls. With your hands roll each ball into a 1/2 inch rope. Wrap the 4 ropes in saran wrap and place in the freeze for 45-60 minutes or until just hard to the touch.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Take out the dough ropes and slice into 1/4 inch slices. Place on baking sheet and press a dot in the middle of each cracker with a wooden skewer or a fork.
• Bake for 11-13 minutes or just golden brown. Let cool completely on the baking sheet, they will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Notes

age: 9+ months 

storage: store in a container on the counter for up to 1 week. I like to leave the container lid cracked so the crackers don’t get too soggy.
