Homemade cheese crackers

Whole Wheat Cheese Crackers

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, room temperature
2 cups whole wheat flour (I used King Arthur White Whole Wheat)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cold water

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

In a large bowl, beat butter and salt until creamy. Add cheese and mix well. Gradually add flour, baking powder and water, mixing until dough begins to form a ball. Remove the dough from the bowl, divide in half and pat into two balls with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap.

Using one ball of dough at a time, roll the dough into 1/8 inch thickness between two pieces of parchment paper. Cut the rolled out dough in shapes with cutters or simply cut into 1 ½ inch squares. Place on parchment or silicon baking mat lined baking sheets.

Bake 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool on pan for 5 minutes before removing.

I loved these, the kids did a little bit, I told them they were just like goldfish, but because they were not as orange as the goldfish they didn't eat them up like they do goldfish. I made some chocolate crackers and they loved those, didn't get a picture of either so I took a picture of my friends batch of crackers! I'll have to make the chocolate ones again. I've been bad about taking pictures, I find it hard to touch my camera when my hands are dirty!! I don't don't how those other bloggers do the step my step pictures while cooking, maybe I'm just a messy cook!!
