Gluten Free Cheez-its

I am going to be honest! I love Cheez -its!!!! I haven't had one in a very long time and I don't eat a lot of Dairy. It is funny because I really don't like cheese. I like a few, but i usually skip the cheese on a salad or sandwich. Funny thing I only like melted cheese, like on pizza, mexican food, or my moms homemade Mac"n"Cheese.
I found this Cheez-it Recipe on Pinterest and never used it, until today, because I wanted to make a GF chex mix. They taste like a real cheez-its!!!!! So yummy. I found them at Real Food RN

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose gluten free flour (I used the ATK mix, American test kitchen)
• 2 cups (8 oz) shredded  cheddar
• 4 Tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces 
• 2 Tbsp cold water
• Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350*F
• In a food processor or Blendtec, combine flour, cheese and butter 
• Pulse until its a crumbly texture, but well combined
• Add water and process until a dough forms
• Divide dough into two balls and chill for 15 minutes in the fridge, or until firm (not longer than 30 minutes)
• Roll one ball out on parchment paper until about 1/4″ thick 
• Pick up parchment paper and rolled out dough and place on a baking sheet
• Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into squares and trim off uneven edges (you can add extra dough to the next ball)
• Sprinkle with salt, lightly
• If you want to, poke little holes in the top with a toothpick to make them look even more like Cheez-it crackers
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until they are bubbly and browning on the edges slightly (my daughter knows they are done when the kitchen smells like macaroni and cheese)
