Let’s make alphabet cheese crackers recipe

I happen to have a boy and a husband who both love to have snacky-chow around the house. I didn’t want to have them constantly eating sweets, which are my forte, so it was time to branch out into salty snacks. Enter the Cheesy Cracker.

They’re the perfect size for little fingers to grab by the handful and they’re so much better than anything I ever bought at the grocery store.

directions to make alphabet cheese crackers recipe

Step 1

Combine the flour, Cheddar powder, cornstarch, salt, turmeric, garlic powder and paprika in a food processor and pulse to combine. 

Step 2

Add the Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and feta and pulse for 30 seconds. Add the butter cubes and pulse for 20 seconds.

Step 3

Add the cold water and pulse until the mixture forms a large ball, about 10 seconds.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the food processor and place it between two 12-by-16-inch sheets of parchment paper.

Step 5

Roll the dough out with a rolling pin so that it fits evenly between the two pieces of parchment.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a sheet pan and refrigerate for 40 minutes.

Step 7

Gently remove the top layer of parchment. Prick the surface of the dough with the tines of a fork so that it doesn’t puff too much as it bakes.

Step 8

Dip 3-by-2-inch alphabet cutters into flour and stamp out letters but do not remove them. Place the dough on the sheet pan back into the fridge to firm up.

Step 9

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 10

Remove the scored letters from the fridge.

Step 11

Flip the pan onto a flat surface and gently peel off the parchment paper. 

Step 12

Quickly place the letters onto the prepared pans. The scraps can be rerolled by placing the dough between two 6-by-8-inch pieces of parchment paper and chilling them again.

Step 13

Bake the letters for 8 minutes.

Step 14

Rotate the pans and bake until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Allow the crackers to cool on the sheet pans.

Step 15

Serve right away or place into an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
