This Homemade Cheddar Cheese Crackers recipe requires only 5 ingredients for a tasty snack cracker that is crunchy, delicious & highly addictive. A healthier version of one of my favorite crackers that are perfect for snacking on anytime (Gluten Free, Low Carb).
CHEESE CRACKERS....
So I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to crackers or snacks.... cheese crackers are an all time favorite of mine.
Always have been for as long as I can remember.
Many a goldfish & cheez-it crackers made there way into my shopping cart. Cause let's face it, what kid doesn't like cheese crackers
And even though I bought cheese crackers for the kids years ago, I still today reach for them. Only now I go for the healthier GF cheese crackers. haha!
Anyway, it's been on my mind for quite sometime now to try & make my own. Cause the price of healthy tasty gluten free snack crackers is just beyond ridiculous!
So in order to keep from going broke & still satisfy those cravings the natural thing to do would be learn to make them myself.
And I'm thinking, "how hard can it actually be to make a few snack crackers?".....Well a tad bit more difficult then reaching for a box in the store.
But let me tell ya, I think worth the effort. As long as you have a food processor and some parchment paper you're pretty much good to go on these.
Although the hubby had to be reminded Why I was making snack crackers when we could just go to the store for them, then he tasted these....need I say more.
Anywho, if you need reasons to make your own crackers I can certainly list them below.
These Homemade Cheddar Cheese Crackers are.....

I just made these, but I used 1/2 C Asiago and 1 1/2 C cheddar. It was a great idea to put the rolled dough on parchment paper into the freezer for a few minutes before cutting. I cooked them a full 14 minutes to get them crispy. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome Maryse! Glad you enjoyed them.😘
This is the third cracker recipe I've made since being on the ketogenic diet. The first was a flop. The second was okay but my sister who also follows ketogenic lifestyle hated the texture. This one is clearly our favorite, maybe too much so because we had a hard time controlling ourselves. Great flavor and texture.
Awww...I'm so Happy 😍 to hear that Denise and Thanks for taking the time to stop by and let me know 🧡
These cheese crackers are so snackable! I have such a hard time keeping my snacking under control with delicious, cheesy crackers around and homemade is the way to go!
I am so excited to try your recipe...especially since I can have everything listed without any modifications! It's been SO LONG since I've had a cracker. I pinned it for later. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I don't make homemade crackers often enough. I love knowing what's going into them, and they're so great for snacking! These look absolutely delicious - I bet my 6-year-old would love getting in the kitchen with me to make a batch 🙂

These sound so good...and I can't believe how easy they are to make. I have never made my own crackers but I'm going to have to give this recipe a try.

Homemade crackers! I love it! Not anything that I have thought about doing myself, but this definitely is giving me some ideas.
Ok I'm impressed. I've never even attempted to make crackers at home. I can't remember the last time I had cheez-its –– we avoid processed foods as much as possible. Will definitely be trying these.
Thanks Jordan and we also avoid the processed foods as well. Hope you Enjoy 🙂
