Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
In a food processor, combine flour, butter, paprika, and salt and pulse until mixture looks like sand, about 2 to 4 minutes.
Add cheese and pulse until crumbly, about 1 minute.
Add water and pulse until dough comes together, about 1 additional minute.
Remove dough from food processor and use your hands to gently shape into a ball. Note: do not overwork dough; only shape it.
Lightly flour a work area and a rolling pin, then roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to trim off edges to form a rectangle. Cut rectangle into 1x1-inch squares. Use a toothpick to make a hole in center of each square. Reroll and cut any excess dough until all is used.
Separate and transfer crackers to prepared baking sheet. Crackers will not spread during baking, so they can be placed close together (but not touching). If desired, garnish with sea salt.

NotesBe careful not to overwork the dough with your hands, as this could cause the butter to become warm, causing the crackers to lose their flaky crunch once baked. Cold butter in the batter is the key. If you’re concerned about the temperature of the butter, before rolling or cutting, place the mixed dough in the freezer for 15-30 minutes, then follow recipe instructions as written.
