5 ingredient Gluten-Free Cheddar Cheese Crackers
This gluten-free Cheddar Cheese Crackers recipe is crispy, cheesy, and made with just 5 simple ingredients! Perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or party trays—no gluten, no fuss, just bold cheddar flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (add 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum, if your blend doesn’t include it)
4 tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup sour cream, plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine cheese, flour, butter, and salt.
- Pulse until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add sour cream and pulse again until the dough starts to come together.
- It should still be crumbly but hold when pressed. (Note: The Gluten Free dough may be slightly softer or more delicate—this is normal.)
- Shape the dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350° .
- Roll dough on lightly floured parchment to about ⅛–¼ inch thick. If you prefer them to be crunchy, roll them thinner, and if you prefer them chewy, like biscuit bites, roll them out thicker.
- Cut into 1-inch squares using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel.
- Poke a hole in each cracker with a skewer or chopstick.
- Transfer parchment and crackers to a baking sheet.
- Slightly separate the crackers.
- Bake for 17–20 minutes, until golden and puffy.
- Cool fully before serving.
Notes
- If your gluten-free all-purpose flour doesn’t contain xanthan gum, be sure to add 1/2 teaspoon to the recipe to help it turn out right.
