Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp dried minced onion or onion flakes
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Optional: 1 tsp chopped chives
- Optional: pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone mat.

- Drop small spoonfuls onto baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Flatten slightly.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.
- Cool completely on the baking sheet to allow chips to crisp further.
