Ingredients

1/2 cup pimento cheese spread This recipe is made with my famous Masters Pimento Cheese however, you can use your favorite store bought brand.
1/2 cup butter only use real butter
1 cup flour all-purpose
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Allow butter to soften to room temperature. This is an important step because you do not want chunks of butter in your dough
1/2 cup butter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
You seen a large bowl place the soften butter and pimento cheese into it. Using a wooden spoon gently mix the 2 ingredients until creamy and smooth.
1/2 cup pimento cheese spread
Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Using your hands kneed the dough until it forms a soft ball. It will be crumbly at first but keep at it, it’s worth it.
1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Place the dough on a floured surface or silicone mat and roll out with a rolling pin to 1/4 inch thick.
Cut dough into small squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place cheese crackers on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about 1/4 inch between each piece of dough.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for one minutes. Place the crackers on a wire cooling rack and let them cool down completely before serving.

Notes

How to store the crackers

Once baked if there are any leftovers, I suggest placing the homemade crackers in an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to one week. Be sure to let the chilled crackers come to room temperature before serving.

Can you freeze homemade cheese crackers?

I suggest you make the cracker dough, roll it into a 1 1/2 inch diameter log.
Then, wrap the dough log with parchment paper tightly.
Place in a gallon freezer bag or add a layer of plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months.
When you want to bake them allow the dough to thaw in the refrigerator over night.
Slice the log into small round cracker size pieces.
Bake as recommended in the recipe card below.
