• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 ½ cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine sifted flour and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter in the bowl of a food processor; pulse briefly until dough starts to form. Add Parmesan cheese, Gruyere cheese, and salt and process for 1 more minute.

Step 3

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Cut off small portions of dough with an ice cream scoop or your hands and flatten with your hands. Place unbaked crackers onto the preheated baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven, rotating the baking sheet halfway, until crackers are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
