I bought some cookie cutters from Tokutokuya and just couldn’t wait to start using them so I randomly made up a cheese biscuit/cracker recipe with some leftover cheddar cheese in the fridge.
With a mini 3.5cm star cookie cutter and a slightly bigger butterfly shape one, this recipe could easily yield about 125 crackers in total. They are tiny so it’s easy to pop into the mouth but of course you can have any shapes you like.
These crackers are cheesy with a nice aromatic hint of rosemary and aren’t oily or greasy to the touch. The exterior is crispy whereas the interior has a breadstick-like texture. Pretty addictive to munch on. 🙂
