Quick Cheese Crackers

Let's Cook

1. Step 1.

   Place in a food processor: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour; ¼ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or ½ teaspoon black pepper

2. Step 2.

   Pulse briefly to combine. Add: 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened; 8 ounces sharp Cheddar or blue cheese, grated or crumbled; 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3. Step 3.

   Process until the mixture comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper to ⅛ inch thick. Remove the top piece of parchment and cut the dough into 1-inch squares or 1 ½ × 2-inch rectangles. Slide the parchment onto a baking sheet and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Let cool completely on the sheet on a wire rack.
