Homemade Cheez Its

Step 1

Combine shredded cheese, butter, salt, onion powder and garlic powder in a food processor, if available. Otherwise, combine ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add flour and again pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add 2 Tbsp of water and pulse (or mix using your hands) until the mixture resembles dough. This took a couple of minutes in my food processor, and a little bit longer using my hands. Add the remaining tablespoon of water if the dough is too dry.

Step 4

Divide the dough into thirds (or roll into logs), cover and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Step 6

Either roll out the dough and cut into squares or sliced pieces from the logs and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.

Step 7

Bake for 15-17 minutes. Crackers are done when they are a light to a medium golden brown.
