This cheese snack cracker recipe is perfect recipe to make with your kids! You only need 3 ingredients, and children love helping cut out all the little shapes.
I love being able to make as many foods for the kids as I can myself. It makes me feel better being able to control the ingredients and know exactly what my children are eating. One of my favorite snacks to make are homemade cheese crackers. It’s so simple to whip together the dough and the kids just LOVE helping me make them! (This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.)
This recipe would of course work for any season or theme, but we’ve chosen to make ours into little fall leaf and acorn snack crackers. We used some mini fall themed cookie cutters similar to these
Cheese Snack Cracker Recipe
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1. Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Line some baking sheets with parchment paper
2. Put the flour, cheese, and butter in the food processor. (We’ve had this one
3. Pulse it until it’s all mixed and looks able to form into dough (about 30 seconds).
4. Using your hands, press the mixture into balls and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
5. After the dough has chilled, roll one ball at a time until it is about 1/4 inch thick. (The dough was much easier for me to work with when it warmed up a bit in my hands.)
6. Use mini cookie cutters to cut out your cracker shapes. Place them on your lined baking sheets.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12-14 minutes. Place them on a cooling rack to cool. Enjoy!
These cheese snack crackers just turn out so cute and taste super yummy! They make a perfect little treat to bring to a classroom party or just to pack in your child’s lunch.

October 23, 2013 at 4:37 pmI tried these today, but my dough was super crumbly. Any suggestions ?
Chelsey says
October 23, 2013 at 5:06 pmSo excited you are making the crackers! The dough will be crumbly when you start working with it after it’s been in the fridge. How was it after you worked with it for a bit- Ours became very soft. If working it with your hands at room temperature doesn’t seem to help, try adding just 1-2 T of water into the dough as you’re processing it in your food processor. Do it very slowly to be sure you’re not adding too much. Keep me posted! 🙂

October 22, 2013 at 6:57 amQuestion from UK! What is all purpose flour? So I can try to figure out what the equivalent is here?
Chelsey says
October 22, 2013 at 9:09 amHi Andrea~ The UK equivalent is plain flour. Hope you enjoy making them!
Natalie says
October 23, 2013 at 10:46 amOh, I am so curious to try and make them for my daughter. She has love-hate relationship with cheese 🙂 Thanks for sharing this recipe with Afterschool!
Anna@The Measured Mom says
October 27, 2013 at 12:55 pmI wonder how these would work with whole wheat pastry flour. I’ve found it to be a good substitute in a lot of recipes. We are definitely going to have to try these – and hope that I don’t eat them all up before the kids do! Thanks for sharing it at After School.

October 30, 2013 at 7:59 amThese look so yummy and fun to make! I usually wouldn’t cook with cheese because my daughter is allergic to dairy, but her allergist recently added dairy to her diet baked 🙂 So we will definitely be trying these out! You were featured as one of my favorites from last weeks Thoughtful Weekly Blog Hop 🙂
