Will’s Crazy Crackers

We make this recipe a few times a week. Cheesy tasting, Will calls them “Stars” because when we first started out, the only cookie cutter we had was star shaped. We’ve moved on from there…

WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR – 1 Cup
NUTRITIONAL YEAST – 1 Cup
SALT – 1 Teaspoon
BLACK PEPPER – 1 Teaspoon
DAIRY FREE MARGARINE – 1/4 Cup
WATER – 1 Cup
ALL PURPOSE FLOUR – Up to 2 Cups

You will need: Measuring tools; 1 Mixing Bowl; Wire Whisk; Spatula; Rolling Pin; Parchment Paper; Cookie Sheets; Cookie cutters

Preheat your oven to 350°. Combine all of the dried ingredients except for the All Purpose Flour in the mixing bowl and stir with the wire whisk. With the spatula, stir in the margarine until the batter starts to form into little chunks. Slowly add the water until the batter becomes sticky but pulls away from the bowl and spatula. If it seems too sticky, throw in pinches of the All Purpose Flour until it becomes more solid. Place the dough (in the bowl) into your freezer for a few minutes while you prepare your cookie sheets.

Parchment paper can be a pain in the youknowwhat, but it makes cleaning up much easier. Line each cookie sheet with the paper and then flour up your work area and start to roll out the dough until about 1/4″ thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out the crackers for baking. Add more All Purpose Flour if the dough is still sticky. Bake them for about 15 minutes for chewy (Will’s preference) and no more than 20 minutes for crunchy. Keep them in a plastic bag for a few days – after about a week they will most likely not be edible.

And the NOSH – Did Will eat it? Absolutely!
