Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour blend, ground flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs. Mix well.
Add shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to distribute evenly.
Add cold diced butter. Using fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub or cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until dough forms a smooth ball. Avoid overworking.
Lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour. Roll dough into a thin rectangle about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
Cut dough into 2-inch squares or rectangles with a knife, pizza cutter, or cookie cutters.
Place crackers on prepared baking sheet, spaced 1/2 inch apart.
Optionally, prick holes in crackers with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from oven; allow to cool completely on baking sheet to crisp further.
Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
