Cheez-it Ingredients:

8 oz of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (or any cheese you would like! Mix and match, I think pepper jack or manchego would be amazing) room temp
1 cup All-Purpose flour
4 tbsp butter – room temp
2 tbsp ice water
1 tsp salt

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Using your food processor, add chunks of cheese (or grated cheese, it saves a step!) until it is broken into small pieces, then add flour, salt, and butter to combine. This should form a dough that is starting to come together nicely. Add water a tsp at a time until all the dough comes together. You want to use as little water as possible so you get a nice crispy cracker, that is why the room temperature cheese is important.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate just until the dough has firmed up a bit.
Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper until 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 1 inch squares and poke holes using a toothpick in the center.
