 8 oz shredded cheesetry different kinds of cheese for a variety of flavors.
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 4 tbsp cold buttercut into pieces
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp pepper
 3 tbsp ice water
1

Put the shredded cheese, flour, butter, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 min.

2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3

Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Use a wooden skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15-17 Minutes (rotate half way through). Allow to cool and place any leftovers in a storage bag or airtight container.

Note: Some brands of pre-shredded cheese contain anti-caking agents that could prevent your dough from forming. If you're not sure, grate your own cheese straight from the block for best results.
