Savory Cheddar Crackers

In a mixing bowl, cream together all of the ingredients except the flour. Stir in flour with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Shape dough into a flattened disk; wrap and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350F. After it’s well chilled, set out dough to soften slightly. Roll out until it’s about 1/4″ thick on a lightly floured surface and cut into cracker shapes. (I used a fish-shaped cookie cutter to simulate “gourmet” goldfish. ‘Twas a gift from my sister. I love fish. I love my sister.)

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely.

NOTE: These crackers are softer and flakier and tend to break easily when cut into large fish shapes. Use funky cookie cutters at your own risk.
