Instructions
1

Add the cheese, flour and butter to a food processor and combine (dough may be a bit crumbly, but it will stick together).

|
Preheat oven to 400°F.
4
|
Open waxed paper and roll out dough on it into a 1/4 inch-thick piece.
5
|
Take small cookie cutters and cut out into shapes (you could also take an empty plastic medicine bottle to make circle shaped crackers. Just make sure you clean out the bottle thoroughly first.).
6
|
Place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with a silpat or parchment paper). Add pecans or other nut on top (if preferred) and bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on sheet for 2 minutes before removing.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Grate Cheese Fresh & Cold 🧀Always grate sharp cheddar cheese directly before mixing and keep it cold until blending with butter to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
- Toast Pecans for Depth 🥜Lightly toast your pecan halves at 350°F for 5-7 minutes before chopping to intensify their nutty flavor and add complexity that rivals commercial cheese crackers.
- Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before slicing and baking to prevent spreading and achieve crisp, defined wafers with sharp edges and perfect crunch.
- Slice Uniformly for Even Baking 🔪Use a sharp knife or dough slicer to cut wafers to consistent thickness (about ¼-inch) so they bake evenly and all achieve the same golden color simultaneously.
- Watch Final Minutes Closely ⏱️Stay near the oven during the last 2-3 minutes of baking as these thin wafers can transition from perfectly golden to over-baked quickly; remove when edges just turn golden brown.
