CHEDDAR SHORTBREAD BITES (CRACKERS)

Cheddar Shortbread Bites (Crackers) image

From Land-o-Lakes: "These flaky, cheesy bites are easy to make and store well." These are our favorite. The possibilities are endless: sesame seed topped, more heat (spices), no salt, garlic-flavored, etc. NOTE: Chill time of 2 hours+ has not been added to preparation nor bake time.
