Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cold water
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while mixing the dough with your hands until it comes together.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a disc. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters of your choice to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cut-out crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store the cheese crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
