Steps:
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment blend the goat cheese and butter until smooth. Add the thyme, zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste a bit, and season with more salt, if needed and add a few grinds of pepper. Add the flour and blend until smooth.

Steps:
- Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the parmesan cheese, flour, salt, thyme, and pepper, and beat until it clumps together into a ball, pulls away from the sides of the bowl, and few, if any, loose crumbs remain. Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Slice the log into roughly 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces (just make sure they're all the same thickness). Place the dough slices about an inch apart on the half-sheet pan and bake for 16 to 22 minutes (depending on their thickness), or until firm and golden brown.
Tips:
- Use fresh thyme for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
- Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the crackers from spreading too much in the oven.
- If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the crackers tough.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy.
Conclusion:
These thyme crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover thyme. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these crackers that will be enjoyed by your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give these thyme crackers a try. You won't be disappointed!
