Awesome Cheese Crackers from Wendy


  • 1/4 cup Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese (I've used fresh or dried. And have used a mix of both cheeses. Either is good)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 stick butter - room temp
  • 1 cup flour

Pre-heat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the cheese, salt, black pepper & cayenne pepper (I use a food processor). Add the butter; then add the flour a little at a time. Combine only until the mixture holds together. Roll dough into balls and place on the parchment lined baking sheet, tapping the dough down gently with fingertips. Bake until just beginning to brown at the edges, about 15 minutes.

The recipe I have says to make the dough balls 'a tablespoon size' but I usually make them smaller. If you make them smaller, cut the baking time to about 12-13 minutes.
