T.G.I.C.F.! Well – these are not really cookies – but close enough – so yay it’s Cookie Friday… ;)
Planing a night with friends and some beers? You need a snack? I have one for you – crackers (not cookies)!
Of course you can buy them in the store, but why not make them yourself? They are really easy and quick to make and you can flavor them any way you want – that’s good right?! Add some cheese, rosemary, sea salt, pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, thyme…. almost endless possibilities :)
I used a cutter for ravioli to get the shape – you can use anything you have at home – a glass, a cookie cutter or just cut rectangles with a knife – be creative.
And now give Polly the cracker! She really wants one :P
