Yield:

Ingredients: 

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) utter, softened
8 ounces (2 cups) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, at room temperature

Instructions: 

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine butter and cheeses and mix with an electric mixer. Beat at a high speed until blended thoroughly and no lumps remain. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

2. Form dough into a long roll, about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm.

3. Unwrap from plastic, and use dental floss to slice dough into 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices. (Lay floss under dough, bring both ends up, and cross over the top, pulling in opposite directions until slice is cut.)

4. Place slices an inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees. Place on wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container or bag.

Tammy's Review: 

These homemade cheese crackers are very tasty! The flavor is remniscent of "Cheez-Its". It makes a nice snack, different from the ordinary! My rating: 9/10.

Didn't work for me

I just couldnt get these right. I tried varied cooking times but they were either too soft or too burnt. I wanted the texture of a cracker. The flavor was good though.

My children loved them

I won't have to buy Cheez-Its anymore, that's for certain, and the pizza idea is genius. Thanks for another great recipe!

Fun!

My 8 year old sister and I made these this afternoon, and they came out great! I like the kick from the pepper. =)

Wow!

These are SOOOOO good!! I think I could have eaten all of them myself, but my family members made sure they each got their shares. ;-) They do take a while to cut so I doubt it's something I'll be making often...but they're great for a treat!

Oh, and we don't care for cayenne much, so I put in about 2/3 tsp. of salt instead...and it turned out just perfect. :-D
