CHEESE WAFERS/BISCUITS

I came across these while browsing and wanted to try them as the recipe looked very very easy with minimal ingredients. There were two variations of these, I tweaked my recipe to suit our taste buds. End product was a flaky biscuit/wafer/cookie. But I would go easy on the salt next time as after baking the saltiness from the cheese makes it saltier!!
