Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Using a hand mixer or standing mixer, combine cheese, butter, and salt in a large bowl.
- Once combined, mix in the flour and add the ice water one tablespoon at a time.
- The dough should hold together but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water.
- Separate dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough to ⅛ of an inch (½ cm), pinching the cracks on the ends.
- Cut into 1 inch x 1 inch (2 ½ x 2 ½ cm) squares and pierce a hole in the middle of each square for ventilation during baking.
- Place the separated crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Enjoy!

This recipe is fanatic. I found it the other day and tried it this morning. The crackers didn’t come out super crispy but I am okay with that. I’m actually making another batch now. The only things I modified was how much water I used. I ended up using about 3 T instead of the 2. I also sprinkled a little sea salt on top before putting them in the oven.

Be sure you’re using cheese from a block and grating it yourself (bagged shredded cheese has anti-caking fillers that change a recipe!), also be sure to use a sharp cheddar or other robust semi-hard/hard cheese for full flavor! These details make all the difference. I loved the flavor & texture of these crackers, but did add a dash of salt before baking.

These are extremely good and so addicting, they taste exactly like cheez-its but without all the salt. I would recommend though always eating them warm, even if you have to warm them up a bit in the microwave, because for me the taste got very affected when they had completely cooled down and were cold.
