RECIPE COLLECTION
“CHEESE CRACKERS” IS IN:

CHEESE CRACKERS 
12 oz. pkg. grated cheddar cheese
2 cups sifted flour (sift before measuring)
2 cups Rice Krispies
2 sticks melted butter (8 oz.)
1 tsp. salt or seasoned salt
1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne (or, to taste)

To sift flour, tap it through a sieve or use a flour sifter; measure after sifting. Add salt and cayenne pepper; sift again.

Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Make rounds the size of a nickel and press out with a fork to flatten. Arrange on parchment paper lined baking sheets.

Bake at 375°F for about 15 minutes or until desired doneness; crackers should be lightly golden and crisp. Let cool on wire racks for 30 minutes and store in an airtight container.

Food Processor Note: The sifting may be done in a food processor. The purpose is to lighten the flour and the measurement after sifting will use less flour and the crackers will be more delicate. If using a food processor, add the remaining ingredients (except Rice Krispies) directly to the bowl after measuring and process for a few seconds. Remove mixture from bowl and gently stir in Rice Krispies by hand.

Variation: Use Parmesan cheese instead. Herbs, such as oregano, basil, parsley or garlic powder may be added (about 1/2 tsp). Cayenne is optional.

I love these crackers and want to make ahead for presents. How long will they keep fresh when sealed in airtight container? I wish this was added to the recipe
