Homemade Cheez It's are a lovely version of the classic snack, offering a fresh, cheesy flavor with a satisfying crunch! Crafted with real cheddar cheese, these flavorful bite-sized crackers are perfect for snacking!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cold milk or water
Instructions
- Add the butter, shredded cheese and salt to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.Mix for one minute then slowly start to add in the flour. The mixture will look dry.
- Add in the cold milk or water then mix for another minute or so or until the dough starts to come together.
- Remove the dough from the stand mixer and form it into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap then refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Cut it in half then working with one half at a time roll out into a rectangle that's about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the better because these puff up in the oven.
- Using a pastry cutter or simply a knife cut the rectangle into long strips then cut into 1-inch squares.Using a chop stick poke a hole into the center of each cracker.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until they start to look golden brown. The darker they get the crispier they will be.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet before enjoying!Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week!
