Recipe: Gluten-Free Crispy Cheese Cracker Snacks

Your kids will be clamoring for this snack once they've tried it, and it can easily replace their favorite wheat and cheese snack crackers without a hint of complaint. Avoid the gluten and keep the kids happy - and it's super easy too!

Crispy Cheese Cracker Snacks - Gluten Free
(Makes about 6 dozen crackers.)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
8 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup gluten-free flour*
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions: 

• Smash together the softened butter and shredded cheese in a bowl. You can use a potato masher. Continue mashing until the mixture is creamy.
• Add the flour and kosher salt, smash until you can form a dough ball with the mixture.
• Divide the dough ball into 4 equal parts, then roll each one into a log that's 1 inch in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic food wrap, then seal in zipper bags. Put in freezer until the dough is semi-frozen.  It's easier to slice that way.
• Remove from freezer. With a sharp knife, cut logs into thin circles and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• When oven is hot, bake the crackers for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden brown.
• Remove and cool before serving or storing in airtight containers.

*Try almond flour for a nice nutty taste, or try one of the gluten-free flour mixes we suggested last week.
