I consider myself a pretty productive person. I like to get up early, get things done, and then get even more things done. Now don’t get my wrong, I can have lazy days like everyone else, but I usually try to get things moving right off the bat. But…. then there was yesterday. I had the strangest craving for Wheat Thins and cheese sandwiches. For some reason I just had to have that crispy salty and slightly sweet cracker that I couldn’t get off my brain.
So- I went to my corner bodega thinking they must have some and of course they didn’t. So- I had two options. 1- Walk a few blocks to the closest grocery store and buy some or 2- Go back upstairs and figure out a way to make them myself. So yes– I am so lazy that I would rather make my own Wheat Thins than walk a few blocks to buy them. Lazy but also kinda not right?
I have got to say that these were so worth it, and also so easy, that I don’t see why I would ever buy them again. Wheat Thins have such a specific flavor and I was skeptical that these would taste as good, but they really do. The dough comes together in minutes, they are baked and cooled in just a few more. Before you know it, you may find yourself eating a stack of these in front of the TV watching this week’s Bachelorette. (Or maybe that’s just me?)

I love eating wheat thins. I don’t buy them often, but when I have them in the house, I can’t stop eating them. It’s a good thing I know about this recipe…but then again, it might also be a bad thing…

Honestly, wheat thins is my ultimate weakness when it comes to snacking. I buy the huge boxes from Costco and I can finish them in a couple of days. It’s so bad. But now I get to make them at home, save money, and eat even more since homemade is always healthier, right? :)

Homemade is always so much better! And these scrumptious crackers are an excellent example!

Audra says
Haha right!
Dee says
The best recipes I’ve ever tasted, thank you sooooo. . . very much for posting online. I make my own crackers and snackage for traveling and I’m taking these.

I’ve been making ‘wheat thin’ crackers for some time now. Just a few tips I can share, not that your recipe isn’t fantastic!! If you leave the dough in the refrigerator overnight it makes for more flavorful crackers. (Let rise to room temp before rolling out.) Garlic powder adds a lot too. When you cut the crackers you don’t have to separate them, just roll them out directly on the parchment paper or baking stone and cut them with the pizza cutter. No moving required, they will bake individually or brake apart in squares no problem. Lastly, if your oven is cooking the outer crackers too fast, after 5 to 8 minutes, turn the oven off. Do not open the door and let them finish baking/cooling for 20 minutes.

These look wonderful! I haven’t had Wheat Thins in forever, but used to love them, so I am imagining how good these must be.
mary says

Does anyone have any idea how I could add ‘ranch’ flavor to these? I used to buy the Keebler’s Ranch Wheatables years ago but they don’t make them anymore. Thanks.
miriam says
you could probably just add ranch packets to the salt or even the dough.
Amanda Cline says
I just tried these with my 6 year old. They’re so good! We can’t wait to bring them to tomorrow’s picnic. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Audra says
That is great! I’m so glad they were a hit!
Audra says
Yes- I’d suggest buying a packet of Ranch seasoning and sprinkling on top with the salt. Sounds great.
Audra says
So glad you liked them!
