Home made Organic "Cheese It" Crackers

Homemade "Cheese its ". Of course a copy cat to that boxed stuff that is full of preservatives and harmful ingredients, this recipe is simple , organic and a lot healthier !

Ingredients (all organic) 
1 1/2 cups cheddar (about 6 oz.)
4 T butter
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 t Smoked Paprika 
1/4 t sea salt
sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions
In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, mix all of the ingredients together until it all of the ingredients are not dry and it begins to form a ball (about 10 minutes).  Place the ball between two pieces of wax paper, and roll it out to about 1/8" thick.  Using a pastry wheel or small cookie cutters, cut into shapes.  Place on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/2" apart from each other - they puff up a bit.  Poke each cracker with a fork or skewer so that they don't puff too much.  Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired (I like the extra salty flavor it gives).
Bake at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your crackers), until lightly browned on the edges.  Cool on the baking sheet, and store in an airtight container.
