Drive Thru Sue Cheesy Crackers

PEARL CHATS: Easy, crunchy, and crisp. Don’t dive into a box of Cheezits or fall for a bag of Doritos when you can make these in a jiffy! My husband and children love them. They’re so much healthier for your growing children than those orange, fish-shaped crackers. The Drive Thru Sue Cheesy Crackers recipe is found in the "All Things Smooth and Crunchy - Crackers, Chips, and Dips" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 449. This recipe is a multiple-serve recipe that makes 2 large 9x13-inch baking sheets full of crackers.

1 Multiple-Serve Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (plus 2 Tbsp) (green can is fine)
  • 2 Tbs Parmesan cheese (this is additional to the 1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup TH Baking Blend (plus 1 Tbsp)
  • 4 Tbs butter (1/2 stick)
  • 2 1/2 Tbs water
  • 3 oz cheddar cheese (sharp)
  • 1/8 tsp TH MIneral Salt (scant)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • garlic powder (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 9 × 13-inch baking sheets with parchment.
  2. 2
    Put all the ingredients in a food processor and process well for 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t worry if the mix is still a little crumbly.
  3. 3
    Transfer the cheese mixture to a large bowl and press the crumbles together into a very loose dough. Grab teaspoonsize pieces and press into balls with your fingers (a fun job for children). Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. 4
    Press each little ball flat with 2 fingers or squish with the bottom of a jar. They should end up about the size of a small, thin zucchini slice, or about as big as a typical store-bought cheese cracker. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
  5. 5
    Allow the crackers to fully cool so they can crisp up. If crackers lose their crispness after a day or so, reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
