Very delicious crackers. Nice and cheesy; tender and flaky. They are very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and the resulting dough was very easy to handle. I mixed everything in the food processor instead of a hand mixer. Next time I will make sure I slice them uniformly thin. Thanks for posting this keeper!
