>> make them ahead of time and when they show up they are ready.

>> it's a shortbread, savory instead of sweet. pulse the butter a -- the flour for just a second and then add the butter.

>> you're a cook.

>> sure.

>> and just pulse is until it's the size of peas, and then i'll add lots of cheddar, sharp grated cheddar.

>> does it matter what kind?

>> the sharpest, the better and hall -- jalopenass, no seeds, and then three tablespoons down the feed tube.

>> and what's the deal with the ice water ?

>> brings it together, like any kind of pastry, brings it all together. dump it all out and make a big roll out of it.

>> i'm just going to cut them. i started. i cut them and they each need to be covered with a little bit of egg wash and sea salt .

>> this comes out in a ball and you fridge rate for a while until it's firm or fridge rate it for like three days or freeze it for weeks.

>> okay. it's a great thing to have around. all you have to do is slice and bake. slice and back cookies except it's jalapeno cheddar crackers.

>> egg wash these.
