Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 85 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 grams Blue cheese (crumbled)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for a touch of spice)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 tablespoon Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, ground black pepper, and paprika (if using).

Step 3

In a food processor, add the flour mixture, cold unsalted butter, and crumbled blue cheese. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

If using chopped fresh chives, stir them into the mixture.

Step 5

Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Avoid adding too much water; the dough should be slightly crumbly but hold together when pressed.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gently knead it into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.

Step 7

Once chilled, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch (6mm) thickness on a lightly floured surface.

Step 8

Cut the dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or a knife. Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
