Рецепт Paleo cheese cookies (call them crackers if you must)
I've been cutting back on grains lately, but that hasn't stopped me from craving cookies and crackers.
And then I made a miraculous discovery.
Replace the all-purpose flour in my Parmesan Smoked Paprika Crackers with almond flour or almond meal and you end up with cheese crackers (or cheese "cookies," as I prefer to call them) that are even more delicious than the originals.
These cheese crackers are also gluten-free, grain-free, Paleo, and the perfect snack for people following a Paleo or LCHF (low carbohydrate, high fat) way of eating.
Here's the basic recipe. I used Seriously Sharp Cheddar from Cabot Creamery, one of my favorites, but you can use any shredded hard cheese - Parmesan, Gouda, Jarlsberg, or any strong cheddar cheese. Feel free to add herbs or spices to suit your taste.
Disclosure: I received this particular block of cheese from Cabot as a gift, although I also buy quite a lot of it on my own dime.
