Homemade "Cheez-It" Style Crackers



Looking for a healthier alternative to Cheez-Its or Goldfish crackers??  This is the perfect recipe.  It has so much flavor and it couldn't be easier.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used half cheddar and half Parmesan)
  • 1/2 cup flour (You could use whole wheat or half and half.  I used half Oat Flour and half White) 
  • 3 TB softened butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Any seasonings you want!  I used 1/4 tsp Paprika and almost 1 tsp Mesquite seasoning for a more BBQ flavor.  You can create pretty much whatever you want.  :)
Directions
  • Put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until you get a crumby mixture (you could also do this by hand of course)
  • Add water 1/2 TB at a time until dough comes together and forms a ball (I only used 1 TB total)
  • It will look something like this when ready


  • Wrap in plastic wrap (or ziplock bag) and place in fridge for 20 or so minutes
  • I divided into 2 balls and rolled one at a time inbetween 2 pieces of wax paper and transferred onto a silpat baking sheet.  Use slightly greased sheet if you do not have a silpat.
  • Bake for about 11 minutes in 350 degree oven (check to make sure it's not burning)
  • Let cool slightly, then cut into desired size/shapes.  
  • Enjoy!
