Homemade Cheese Crackers

 So, Kidlet is a huge fan of Cheez-Its. It's always been his #1 requested treat food but I hate that they are so full of ingredients I cannot pronounce. In comes the cheese cracker recipe. I think to myself "Self, homemade cheese crackers will solve the problem! But oh...they must be so hard and time consuming." But oh no, I was so wrong. These crackers are a cinch to pull together and oh so delicious!

I used my trusty FunBites Cube-It cutter to make easy work of the crackers. You can just cut them out with a knife or other cutesy cutter shapes also.
