How to Make Whole Wheat Cheese Crackers

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ cup grated cheddar cheese.
  2. Gradually add ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in ¼ cup milk until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it comes together.
  4. Shape the dough into a 1 ¼ inch diameter roll. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for later use).
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Slice the chilled dough into ⅛ inch thick slices. Prick each cracker several times with a fork.
  7. Arrange the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they brown quickly.
  9. If the edges brown too quickly before the centers are cooked through, remove the outer crackers and continue baking the remaining crackers until they are done. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
