📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, dry milk, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles wet sand. Add cheese and pulse until combined. Drizzle in 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water, pulsing just until dough begins to come together.
2
Roll dough into an 8-inch-long log. Divide dough into 2 equal-size logs, wrap both tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Meanwhile, remove and unwrap 1 log. Using a wire cheese cutter, slice log into thirty 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Transfer to 2 parchment-lined baking pans (preferably insulated), spacing rounds about 1 inch apart.
4
Bake until golden brown, 10 to ⏱️ 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool completely.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with remaining log. To package, line the compartments of 4 boxes with parchment. Divide 1 batch among the boxes, placing 15 crackers in one compartment of each box. Repeat with batches of other variations.
