This recipe was in the latest issue of Bon Appetit, as opposed to the last issue of Gourmet. Sorry, still bitter. I thought they sounded delicious and have a friend who is a cracker fiends, so I made them for her birthday instead of cupcakes! Birthday crackers. I think were delicious and I'll definitely make them again.

Recipe: Walnut Cheese Crackers
3/4 cups (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
12 ounces finely grated Swiss cheese (preferably Gruyere)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of flour
1 cups chopped walnuts

In a big yellow bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the cheese and salt, beat until combined. Add the flour and walnuts, continue to beat on a low speed until the dough comes together. Add cold water by the teaspoon if it's dry. Divide the dough in half and shape into two, 14-inch rectangular logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least four hours. Alternatively, you can wrap in wax paper, then foil and freeze.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper of Silpat. Cut the logs into 1/4-inch slices, arrangea bout 1/2 inch apart. Bake until a deep golden brown, for about 20 minutes. Then let cool completely.

You can always bake one log and freeze the other to bake for later. It should keep frozen for at least two months.
