Easy Copycat Cheez-It Crackers
Buttery, crisp cheddar crackers made quickly in a food processor, so good you’ll be making them on repeat!
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
-
8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (white or yellow)
-
1 cup flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup butter, cold and cubed
-
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Add the flour and salt to the food processor and pulse once or twice to combine.
- Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture looks crumbly.
- Add the shredded cheese and pulse a few times to distribute.
- Pour in the milk and pulse just until the dough comes together. Stop as soon as it forms a cohesive mass.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll it thin — the thinner it is, the crispier the crackers.
- Cut into small squares and transfer to the baking sheet. They need space in between them so they crisp up.
- Poke with a fork or a skewer to resemble the real deal.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.
- Let cool slightly; they firm up as they cool.
