I just did this today, it was good. The thinner you roll these crackers, the crispier they bake, and they are very quick to burn, so don''t step out of the kitchen to do anything else while making these! I also noticed that the cheese flavour is a bit muted when the cookies were cooled/chilled, so next time I''ll use a very sharp, strong flavoured cheese.
