Source: divascancook.com
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 T unsalted butter
1/4-1/2 tsp salt, to taste
3/4 cup flour
course kosher salt for sprinkling, optional
Add all ingredients, except kosher salt into a food processor, process until a dough forms.
Shape dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
Roll the dough out on a smooth surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a pizza cutter or pastry wheel and make 1-inch squares. Sprinkle dough with kosher salt if desired.
Use the end of a wooden skewer to make holes in the center of each square. Place the squares on a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are barely golden.
Let crackers sit in the pan for a minute before removing to a cooling rack. Crackers will crisp up more as they cool so be sure not to over bake.
Store in an airtight container.
Notes: add different spices (paprika, cayenne, black pepper, garlic powder, etc.) or use a different cheese to get a whole new flavor.
