Gluten-Free Cheez-Its

(Courtesy of flipcookbook.com)

Ingredients:
1 block (8-10 oz.) cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp. yogurt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Shred the cheese (thickness does not matter).

Slice the butter.  In a food processor or blender, pulse the cheese, flour, butter and cayenne powder.  The mixture should look like coarse sand.

Add the yogurt and pulse until the mixture becomes dough-like.  You may need to add more yogurt but add sparingly.

Divide the dough into rollable amounts.  Roll out a section on a non-stick surface (like a well-floured surface or wax/parchment paper).  It should be fairly thin- about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into squares using a knife of pizza cutter or can use cookie cutters.

Place the cut dough onto cookie sheets that are lined with parchment paper.  The pieces should be about 1/2-1 inch apart.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.  Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes, they tend to get brown fast.  Allow them to cool on racks for 20 minutes.  Store in a vacuum-sealed container.
