T like many if not most young children loves a good snack. A household favorite is cheez-its. We don't buy them that often due to lack of nutritional value. When they are in our house though they disappear quickly. I'm partly to blame for that. I love the cheesy salty burst of flavor from a Cheez-it cracker! Imagine how excited we both were when I found a Better Homes and Gardens recipe for homemade cheese crackers.

Rolling out dough. Needs to be very thin.

Then cut into 1" squares.

They tasted great. Loved that I got the great punch of cheese flavor with every bite, without all the preservatives. When they were fresh out of the oven and I took a bite I had a quick moment of disappointment as I realized I was missing that marvelous crunch...then as they cooled, the crackers hardened and the crunch was there. Next time I would definitely roll them thinner to ensure a very crisp crunch through-and-through. The main con I came away with making this recipe is the price: it uses so much sharp cheddar a box of Cheez-it crackers is a bit cheaper.
