Ingredients
- 8 ounces Gruyere cheese, finely shredded
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (this is 1 1/2 sticks or 12 tablespoons)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour Measure with the fluff/scoop/level method
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Put the shredded cheese, soft butter, egg, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse and then process until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the bowl as necessary.
- Add the flour in two batches, and process just until a soft dough comes together.
- Fill your cookie press according to your model's instructions and insert the shape disk of your choice. Stamp the crackers onto a clean dry baking sheet. Note: this is important because the dough needs to stick to the surface as it comes out of the cookie stamp.
- Bake the cookies for 15-19 minutes, or until starting to turn golden on the surface.
- Let them rest on the pan for a minute or two before transferring them to a rack to cool.
- After the crackers are completely cool you can store in an airtight container, or they can be frozen for longer storage.
