8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese Freshly shredded is recommended.
4 tablespoons salted butter (softened) Ensure butter is softened for smooth mixing.
½ teaspoon seasoning salt Can substitute with an herb blend for variation.
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour For gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour.
2-3 tablespoons ice water Add gradually to form dough.

In a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened butter, seasoning salt, and garlic powder until crumbly.
Add the flour and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Slowly drizzle in the ice water one tablespoon at a time until a dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough to about ⅛-¼ inch thick and cut into small squares.
Poke holes in each square with a toothpick and bake for 12-16 minutes until golden.
