SLICE-AND-BAKE PARMESAN-ALMOND CRACKERS
A crisp, savory cracker with the ease of a slice-and-bake cookie, these snacks are flavored with Parmesan, almonds, and thyme, and come together easily in the food processor. Serve them with afternoon tea for a savory option, or set them out alongside an antipasti platter of marinated olives, seasonal fruits, and a creamy spread.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse both flours, cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lemon zest, and thyme. Add butter and cream cheese; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add lemon juice and pulse just until dough comes together.
- Transfer dough to a work surface. Divide into two pieces, and shape each into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Slice logs crosswise into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Place rounds on parchment-lined baking sheets. Top each with a tiny thyme sprig (if using) and bake until firm and golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer baking sheets to wire racks and let crackers cool on pans 5 minutes, then transfer crackers to wire racks. Crackers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
CHEDDAR-PARMESAN CRACKERS
These cheesy, buttery gems will likely become a mainstay in your repertoire. Not only are they crispy, rich and, well, addictive, they can be partially made up to a month in advance. That's because once the dough is made it can be frozen and simply "cut to order" as you need it. Just be sure to freeze it in small portions so that you don't have to defrost it all at once. Although these crackers are great plain, you can draw on the age-old "apples and cheddar" theme by topping them with a dollop of apple or pear butter.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, place all ingredients except the butter and water. Pulse 5 times. Add the butter and pulse again until the butter pieces are the size of BBs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until the dough holds together. If the dough is still crumbly, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
- Turn the dough out onto a large piece of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log, 9 to 10 inches long, and square off the ends. Refrigerate, well wrapped, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Or freeze it for up to 1 month. (You may want to cut the log in half or in thirds to freeze if you think you will want to defrost a smaller amount at a time.)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To make the crackers, cut the log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet 1-inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers are a light golden color. Turn the crackers and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Cool on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread half the parmesan cheese onto the prepared pan creating a rectangle that's approximately 8" x 14". Evenly sprinkle the gently crushed, sliced almonds over the cheese. Layer the remaining cheese over the almonds. Use your hands to push any stray bits into the rectangle forming an even edge.
- Bake for 10 minutes (cheese will be bubbly and melting). Remove from oven. Allow crackers to rest for about 30 seconds. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough first lengthwise, then widthwise. I usually make 4 cuts lengthwise and 8 cuts widthwise which results in 45 individual crackers. Gently separate each cracker.
- Return to oven for 7-10 minutes until crackers begin to turn golden. Remove from oven. Place crackers on a cooling rack for 10 minutes and they will crisp as they cool.
- Note: If your crackers are not crispy after cooling, you can return them to the oven for a few more minutes.
