These cheddar cheese coins (aka cheese pennies) are a cross between shortbread and a Cheez-it. They're crisp but flaky, super buttery and cheesy, slightly spicy, and are a perfect snack or an amazing soup cracker. Best of all, they only require a few basic ingredients and are super simple to make. (This recipe makes about 90 crackers.)
