These crispy, crunchy Cheese Crackers are here just in time for back-to-school. They come together quickly in the food processor with only a few simple ingredients, and they taste so much better than the store-bought version. The best part? They pack perfectly in lunchboxes.

Ingredients
8 oz grated cheddar cheese (for best results grate your own cheese from a block) (226g)
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (165g)
1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus additional for sprinkling on top
8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold
3 Tablespoons ice water
Instructions
Note: if your food processor has a grate or shred blade like mine does, just use this to grate your block of cheese directly into the basin of the food processor before beginning.
Combine shredded cheese, flour, sugar, paprika, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt in the basin of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse until ingredients are combined and cheese is well chopped up (about 15-20 seconds).
Scatter cold butter pieces over the surface of the ingredients and pulse again until butter is cut into the mixture and the mixture appears pebbly/crumbly.
Add water and pulse until ingredients begin to cling together.
Divide dough into two or three parts and form each into a ball. Flatten each into a square shape and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator and chill for at least one hour and up to 3 days.
Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat oven to 375F (190C).
03:50 Working with one square at a time, roll dough to be between ⅛ and ¼” (0.3-0.6cm) thin.
Use a pastry wheel or pizza cutter to cut dough into 1” squares.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet and use a toothpick or the blunt end of a wooden skewer to pierce the center of each square.
Sprinkle lightly with additional kosher salt (I use about 1-2 teaspoon total for all of the crackers) and transfer to 375F (190C) oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Allow crackers to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
NOTES
