Learn how to make Cheese Crackers at home with this easy recipe. Made from scratch with real cheddar, these homemade cheese crackers are a fantastic kid-friendly snack. No preservatives or sugar in these salty snacks!
Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cheese, flour, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, and salt. Cut butter into smaller pieces and add to flour mixture. Then with a pastry cutter, cut butter into mixture, and combine until it resembles coarse meal.
Add milk and with a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together in a ball. This may take up to 10 minutes, and you may need to bring the final bit together with your hands, but trust me it will turn into a ball of dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough, using a lightly floured rolling pin into a rectangle that measures 8 X 10-inches and is about 1/8 of an inch thick.
With a pizza cutter, cut strips in both directions of the rectangle 1-inch thick, so that each cracker is a 1-inch square.
Place crackers about 1/4-inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet. With the end of a chopstick, poke a hole into the center of each cracker.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are just or very slightly browned. Transfer parchment to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
