Cheesy Gold Star Crackers

Instructions

• Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

• Whirl flour with baking powder, turmeric and salt in a food processor until combined. Gradually add butter through feed tube. Add cheddar and Parmesan just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With motor running, add water. Pulse just until mixture comes together.

• Form dough into 2 balls, and then flatten into discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 min.

• Roll out 1 disc on a floured surface to 1/8 in. thick. (Rotate dough every few rolls to keep it from sticking to the counter.)

• Using 1- to 11/2-in. star-shaped cookie cutter, cut shapes from dough. Transfer stars to 1 prepared baking sheet.

• Repeat with remaining dough. Transfer stars to other baking sheet. Re-roll and flatten excess dough into a disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate.

• Bake in top and bottom thirds of preheated oven until puffy and golden, switching and rotating sheets halfway through, 10 to 13 min. Let cool on rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
