Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water, ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to the food processor.
Pulse until the dough starts to come together and form a ball. If the dough is too crumbly, add an additional teaspoon of water at a time.
Remove the dough from the processor and shape it into a flat disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a knife or a small cookie cutter to cut the dough into 1-inch squares.
Place the squares onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little bit of space between each cracker.
Use a fork to prick holes in each square to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
