Low carb cheese crackers that are crunchy on the outside, soft inside and have a delicious cheese and herb flavour. They melt in your mouth and you will not be able to stop at just one. It's a good thing that these are low in carbs as well as being gluten free!
I have a cheese biscuit recipe made with almond flour but is best made with a food processor to make the biscuit dough. It blends the ingredients into such a smooth dough and is easy to work with. As my kitchen is still without a food processor I thought I'd try a new version of it. There is also a cheese biscuit recipe I have in my coconut flour eCookbook. Like a mad professor in a laboratory, I combined the two and added herb seasonings.
Sometimes when you are playing around with a recipe and adding ingredients you can see it take form and can be pretty confident that it will work by the texture of the mixture and the smells. The dough was initially a bit stickier than I had hoped but adding the coconut flour to this helped the texture to the dough I wanted it to be. Not using a food processor worked too! Just some good old fashioned elbow grease with the hands (washed of course) made a pliable dough!
This cheese biscuit recipe made 24 biscuits with my star cookie cutter. We could not get through the whole batch (not for the want of trying) so a lucky work colleague received a few. Others were put into a Tupperware container and stored in the fridge. The next day they firmed up but were just as delicious. The Chief Taster actually had a supper that consisted of a plate of these, followed by some muffins I had made that day too.
Rosemary and chive work great with cheese so were the herbs of my choice for this recipe. You could add other flavours and herbs to your taste instead. The cheese and the rosemary go so well with a glass of red wine too! I love a cheeseboard with some low carb crackers and these are the combination of the two. Add a glass of a delicious red and I am quiet on the sofa for about 15 minutes. Everyone wins!

Hi Angela, I made these without any herbs for my daughter who loves the cheese mini's her Nan gives her and she loved these just as much! As did her Dad and I. I didn't manage to get is out of the fridge to roll out and cut until the next day and it was very hard so I just cut it into biscuit sized bits and it worked well. Now when I make it I roll it up like you suggest in another of your cheese biscuit recipes in a piece of parchment like a sausage and refrigerate until the next day and can slice it up and cook. Easy, delicious and low carb thank you so much.

Hi Angela,
I made these today but found very difficult to cut to shape....so I cut them mid way cooking time. Very good. Thanks

Hi, perhaps the dough should have been in the fridge a bit longer? Glad you enjoyed them though!
