📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the grated cheese, butter, and salt together on low speed until combined.
2
Add in the flour and then the water and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It will be crumbly, but should hold together when squeezed.

3
Divide the mixture in half, forming both halves into a flat disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
4
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
5
Remove one disc from the refrigerator and using a rolling pin on a very lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8- inch thick. The edges will be jagged, this is normal.
6
Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1- inch squares. Poke a small hole in the center of each using a toothpick or a skewer.
