I ask the girls a lot of questions about school when they come home. Joanna remembered that one of her friends had some cheesy crackers for their snack. Joanna really wanted some, so I decided to make a batch!
I ran across a recipe that I bookmarked for some veeeerrrrrryyyy simple cheese crackers. Here it is. I’ve seen homemade goldfish cracker recipes before, and I will probably make them sometime, but they’re a bit of work with the dough rolling and cutting and everything. These are pretty much “slice and bake” crackers. Here goes!
I halved the recipe to fit in my food processor. Into it I put 2oz cheddar cheese, 2.5T butter, and 1/2c. of whole wheat flour.
Then I buzzed it until a ball of dough appeared and started chasing itself around the bowl of the mixer. Then I took the ball, formed it into a log and started slicing!
Then I baked them at 350 for 12 or so minutes.
Then I neglected to take any pictures. But they were big hits with all the kids! Even James figured out how to take bites of them. Their texture isn’t very cracker like. It’s more like a shortbread cookie (but not at all sweet). They were perfect for throwing in the lunch boxes!
James’ birthday party is in just over three weeks, and I know the time will fly by! I’m planning on having lots of cookies to go with our milk, so I’ve started mixing some up to freeze.
These are just some plain ol’ chocolate chip cookies (made of course, with whole wheat flour and turbinado sugar).
We tried them (quality control, of course!), and they’re yummy. I scooped them onto a cookie sheet, froze them for a few hours, then put them in the bag labeled with the baking directions. Now I just have to keep myself out of the dough for more than three weeks! Ahhhh!!!
Today I tried making some candy cookies from the Pioneer Woman. Super yum, though mine didn’t come out quite as pretty as hers. :)
I’m going to try freezing them baked and see how they taste thawed. Of course that means we had to try them freshly baked. :)
