Crispy crackers bursting with sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and fresh herbs, ideal for snacks or dips.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Cheese
04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
05 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
→ Herbs
06 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
→ Wet Ingredients
08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
09 - 3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Add grated cheddar, Parmesan, chives, and thyme. Mix thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
03 - Add cold butter cubes to the mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, rub butter into dry ingredients until texture resembles coarse crumbs.
04 - Drizzle in cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
05 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/8-inch thickness.
06 - Cut dough into 1-inch squares or desired shapes. Place crackers on prepared baking sheet with slight spacing between each piece.
07 - Use a fork to prick each cracker to prevent puffing during baking.
08 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack.
