Recipe View 5 mins Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 4 mins In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cold butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. (3-4 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Slowly pour in the cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 30 mins Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. (30 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins On a well-floured surface, roll the dough to between 1/8- and 1/4-inch thickness. Use a knife, pizza cutter, or cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Carefully transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 12 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes. (11-13 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

Recipe View While the crackers are still warm, use a fork to pierce multiple holes on the tops of each cracker. This will help prevent them from puffing up too much during cooling.
