Ingredients

Only three main ingredients plus simple seasoning are needed to make these crackers.

• Almond Flour – Finely ground almonds give a mild nutty flavor and create a light, crispy texture. A low-carb, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour.
• Cottage Cheese – Use plain full-fat cottage cheese. It adds creaminess, mild tang, protein, and calcium. Blend it beforehand for a smooth dough.
• Chives – Fresh chopped chives add a gentle, savory onion note.
• Seasoning – Salt and black pepper to taste.

How to Make Cottage Cheese Crackers

Mix all ingredients in a bowl until combined.

Form the mixture into a cohesive dough. If it’s too crumbly, add a tablespoon of water.

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness for even baking.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking tray.

Arrange the cut crackers on the baking sheet with a little space between them.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) until golden—about 10 minutes, then flip and bake another 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Storage

Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. To extend freshness, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Tips

If the dough is sticky, add a little more almond flour. If it’s too dry, add a small amount of water or olive oil.

Roll the dough to an even thickness so crackers bake uniformly and avoid burning thin edges.

Try different seasonings—rosemary, thyme, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning—to vary the flavor.

For extra crispiness, leave the crackers in the turned-off oven with the door slightly ajar for 5–10 minutes after baking.
