STEP 2: Preheat Oven
Heat your Oven to 400 degrees.
STEP 3: Add Flour
Add one cup white flour to the bowl. Do the same with wheat flour.
STEP 4: Add Other Dry Ingredients
Add one teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the flour. Mix it up!
STEP 5: Add Liquid Ingredients
Add 1/3 cup oil, and 2/3 cup water to the mix.
STEP 6: Mix the Dough
Using a large spoon, mix up the dough.
STEP 7: Roll the Dough
Place your lump of dough on a nonstick cutting board. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about 3/8 of an inch. It should be a large piece of rolled dough.
STEP 8: Make the Hearts
Use a standard heart- shaped cookie cutter, cut hearts out of the dough. Place the hearts on an oiled cookie sheet.
STEP 9: Prepare
Brush the tops with oil, and sprinkle on your toppings. If using honey, add nothing as a topping, and add the honey after they come out of the oven.
STEP 10: Bake!
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 min, or until the crackers are mostly hard.
STEP 11: Closing Remarks
You should use the dough leftover from the first round of hearts, roll it again, and make some more. Enjoy!

Do you know what can you do to make the cheddar-flavored Cheez-it crackers? I haven't seen a powdered cheese product for baking and I don't think there is any real cheese in it.

Any how there are many alternatives to that cheese powder dilemma of yours.
Just use your imagination.
There is the popcorn topper you can get in the spices section of some stores that have a powdered cheese you can use.
You can use that nacho cheese powder mix that you normally find in the Mexican isle of a store.
And if there's such thing is dehydrated cheddar cheese soup mix in the soup section, you can use that.
Oh yeah, don't forget to check bulk food places, they usually have mac n cheese powder in a bin for bulk buying needs.
I hope that helps. :)
