1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the grated cheddar cheese and continue to mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture, stirring until you have a smooth dough.
5. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush them too much.
6. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crackers are firm to the touch. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

As you bake, let the aroma remind you of the joy found in simple cooking. Just like my abuela, trust your senses and adjust as you see fit. If you prefer a bit more spice, don’t hesitate to increase the cayenne pepper!
