Directions

• In a food processor, combine the cheese, butter, flour, salt, paprika, and cayenne, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the half-and-half and continue pulsing until the dough forms a ball, about 10 seconds.
• Cover the dough ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about an hour (or up to a day).
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat.
• Dust a clean work surface or cutting board with flour.
• Roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness and cut into evenly-sized squares. Cut a small X in the center of each cracker. Arrange on the baking sheet.
• Bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and allow  to rest for several minutes, and then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
