Homemade 100% whole wheat cheese crackers that are even better than store bought! Just blend everything together, roll out and bake. Only 5 ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (170 grams) sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter
  • 3/4 cup (90 grams) whole wheat flour or whole spelt flour
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor, and run until it forms a ball. It should take about two minutes.
  • Then you can roll it out (I do it between two Silpats) or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes so that it'll be easier to handle. You can also roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough to about an eighth of an inch. I like to sprinkle mine with some table salt, but I like them really salty.
  • Cut shapes however you wish, and then with a skewer, prick a small hole in the middle to prevent them from puffing up.
  • Spread them out on a piece of parchment paper or on a Silpat, leaving just a little room for them to grow.
  • Baking time will depend on the size of your shapes, but my mock Cheez-its took 8 minutes. They should just be turning brown at the edges. My elephants took around 13 minutes.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
