I’ve been going through a severe Cheez It phase lately, but then I read the ingredient list and wanted to cry/vomit. This homemade Cheez It recipe consoled me because it uses whole wheat flour AND it only has 4 ingredients, none of which include chemicals you can’t pronounce. Recipe and image via Cooking ala Mel.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cheddar (about 6 oz.)
4 T butter
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 t salt
sea salt, for sprinkling
In a food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until it forms a ball (about 2 minutes). Place the ball between two pieces of wax paper, and roll it out to about 1/8″ thick. Using a pastry wheel or small cookie cutters, cut into shapes. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/2″ apart from each other – they puff up a bit.
