Copycat Cheez-It Cheddar Cheese Crackers ~ Gluten Free

Copycat Cheez-It Cheddar Cheese Crackers ~ Gluten Free

These are the yummiest Gluten-Free Cheese Crackers I have EVER tasted!!! They taste just like Cheez-It crackers! Plus, they are SO easy to make and only 6 ingredients are needed 🙂 I love them with my Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup…or just by themselves! A big bag of these yummy crackers would make a perfect treat for anyone.
*This recipe was adapted from a Ree Drummond (aka: “The Pioneer Woman”) recipe (“Homemade Cheddar Crackers”)…of course! Thank you SO much for sharing!

  • 2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
  • 1 Cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (I use Caputo brand – it’s a little more expensive, but well worth it – it performs like “regular” flour and is not gritty)
  • 4 Tbsp Salted Butter (Kept cold & cut into small pieces)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Seasoned Salt (I use Season-All)
  • 3 Tbsp Ice Water
  1. Place all of the ingredients, except for the Ice Water, into a Food Processor and pulse until the mixture looks like sand.
  2. With the Food Processor running, slowly add the Ice Water, one Tablespoon at a time, through the shoot until the dough forms a ball.
  3. Wrap the Cheese-dough ball in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Line 1-2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
  6. Roll out the dough to 1/4″ thickness and cut into desired-size squares using a pizza cutter ~ I use a straight-edge ruler and usually cut my dough into 1″ x 1″ squares.
  7. Place the squares onto the lined baking sheets.
  8. Using the smaller end of a chop stick or wooden skewer, poke a small hole into the center of each square.
    Note: If desired, you can sprinkle the crackers with a little kosher salt at this stage, but they really do not need it 😉
  9. Bake the crackers for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown; I bake mine for the maximum amount of time since I prefer mine on the more crispy side.
  10. Allow to cool completely to fully develop the flavors and desired crispiness.
  11. Enjoy with your favorite soup, salad or all on their own 🙂
  12. Note: if your crackers get soft, simply toss them onto a baking sheet and re-heat in a 275 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes.
