Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups grated aged cheddar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse butter, cheddar, flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add heavy cream; pulse until just combined.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces; shape into rectangles. Wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Working in batches, roll out each rectangle on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness, and cut into 1-inch squares. Transfer to a baking sheet leaving at least 1/4 inch between each. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 20 minutes. Bake until pale golden, 15 to 17 minutes.

These cheddar bits were a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

These cheddar bits were a waste of time. They were too hard and didn't have any flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of cheddar cheese, but these cheddar bits were actually pretty good. I liked the crispy texture and the cheesy flavor.

These cheddar bits were a lifesaver! I was running late for work and needed something quick and easy to take with me. I threw these in a baggie and they were the perfect snack.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheddar bits turned out really oily. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These cheddar bits were a disappointment. They were too hard and didn't have much flavor. I ended up throwing them out.

Not bad! I thought these were pretty good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a sharper cheddar cheese. Overall, they were easy to make and a nice addition to my homemade mac and cheese.
