- For crispier crackers, bake an additional 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 5: Cool and Store
- Remove the baked crackers/cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Once cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Tips for Success
- Flavor Variations : Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, or dried herbs such as rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Texture Adjustment : For crunchier crackers, bake them longer or reduce the thickness when rolling out the dough. For softer cookies, leave them thicker and bake for less time.
- Gluten-Free Option : Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a version suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
- Oil Substitution : You can substitute olive oil with melted coconut oil for a slightly sweeter taste if preferred.
