The ingredients in these homemade farm crackers
You only need 5 simple ingredients to make your own cookies! Here’s everything you’ll need:
- Crackers: I’ve been obsessed with the Crunchmaster Multi-Seed Original crackers because (as the name suggests) they’re super crunchy and they happen to be gluten-free.
- Obesity: You will melt some salted butter before adding the spices and pouring it over the cookies.
- Ranch spices: Good old store-bought ranch seasoning adds that delicious ranch flavor.
- cayenne pepper: Get a warm kick from chili peppers. Who doesn’t love spicy ranch?
- Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle with pre-grated Parmesan cheese from the store for an extra delicious cheesy flavor.
Customize your own ranch crackers
- Choose your crackers: Feel free to use any type of cookie you like, but please note that they may have different baking times (so watch them carefully in the oven).
- Stay away from dairy products: Simply use vegan butter and skip the Parmesan cheese.
- Keep it light: If you don’t like the spice or share it with kids, feel free to omit the cayenne pepper.
Can I use a different cheese?
I don’t recommend using regular grated cheese because the cookies will become greasy instead of crunchy. Pre-grated, store-bought Parmesan cheese is the perfect solution!
Let’s get dipping
Homemade Greek yogurt ranch is the perfect dip for these cookies and adds the perfect boost of protein, but they would also be delicious with:
