Mickey-Shaped Cheese Crackers

This adorable, savory, Mickey-shaped treat will bring a little Disney-inspired magic to snack time!

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese (finely shredded)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp cold water
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • sea salt (for sprinkling on top)

Method
 

  1. In a food processor (or using a handheld pastry blender), pulse the cheese, butter, flour, salt, and paprika until crumbly.
  2. Add water (1 tbsp at a time), pulsing until dough just comes together.
  3. Shape dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°.
  5. Roll dough on a floured surface to ~1/8" thick. Using a small Mickey-shaped cutter (just over 1" in diameter), cut Mickey shapes out of the dough.
  6. Place the cut outs on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  7. Lightly sprinkle the crackers with sea salt.
  8. Optional: using a toothpick, poke a hole in the center of each cracker to prevent them from puffing up too much while baking.
  9. Bake 12-14 minutes until crisp and golden. (For extra crispiness, add another minute or two!)
  10. Cool completely - they will continue to crisp up!
