Now I don’t know about you but I LOVE cheez-its. I love cheese in general but make it into a cracker and I am sold!! This recipe is super simple, only 5 ingredients (one of which is water!). Absolutely anyone can make these and they are to die for!

Makes around 100 crackers. Prep: 10-15 min Cook: 8-10

Let’s start with ingredients!

8 oz. of cheddar cheese (I used white but orange would work just fine!)

4 tbs. butter

1 c. flour

1/2 tsp. of salt plus some extra to sprinkle on

4-6 tbs. ice water

Soften that butter!

Grate that cheese!

Mix the grated cheese, butter, and 1/2 tsp of salt together.

Now add in the cup of flour. Mix together and then add the water in 1 tbs. at a time till it all clumps together.

It’s time to get rolling!

As you can tell I am no the best at rolling out dough… whoops, they don’t have to be totally equal. Just make sure they are pretty thin. The crackers will puff up quite a bit in the oven so if you leave them thick they will be reeeeally thick. The smaller you go the more “cracker like” they will be.

All cut up! (pizza cutters are your friends)

Make sure to at least poke one hole in each to help with cooking. Sprinkle with a little salt for topping. Bake at 375° until crispy on the bottom, usually around 8-10 minutes.

Mmmm so crunchy and cheesy. They are very addicting and in my house never make it to the next day.
