Homemade Cheez-Its

Instructions

In a food processor, add the cheese, flour, butter, shortening, and salt. Pulse several times to combine.

Gradually add cold water until the dough forms a ball, you may not need all of the water. The dough should not be sticky. Form the dough into a 4-inch disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a well floured surface, roll out the dough to â…'-inch thickness. With a pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1-inch squares and use a skewer or toothpick to poke a hole in the center of each.

Bake for 19-23 minutes or until light brown at the edges. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
