Homemade Cheese Crackers - Delish :)

In an effort to reduce my family's dependence on mass produced goods and processed foods I have been trying my hand at some homemade items - today's project was cheese crackers and they came out great! 

I have to give credit to Mountain Momma Cooks, I used her recipe and it was super simple!  The only thing I will change next time is that I will be able to find my rolling pin so that I can roll out my dough thinner - I had to up the baking time because mine were so thick.  Despite that change, they came out fantastic! 

Here's how it's done:

The ingredients are simple...


Here is the recipe I downloaded...I did use Mexican shredded cheese instead of regular cheddar, I needed a "kick"...
 
 

Mix all the ingredients in the food processor...


I had to add a little bit more butter than the recipe called for because my dough wasn't thick enough...


Roll it out, I didn't have a rolling pin so mine was a little too thick...


We used our cookie cutters to do all kinds of neat shapes but the majority were the regular old circles...


The boys couldn't wait for the crackers to be ready...


I put them in to back about 15-17 minutes because they were a little thick, but a thinner cracker would only need 12-15 minutes...


Yummy...


One for home and one for work, and boy are the good....
