Things I’ve Learned

I’ve learned that using room temperature cheese makes mixing easier and helps the crackers hold their shape better. Storage-wise, keep these crackers in an airtight container for up to a week. They can also be reheated briefly in the oven for extra crispness. If you want to make them ahead, prepare the dough and refrigerate it until ready to bake!
