Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, xanthan gum, garlic powder and salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Sprinkle butter over almond flour mixture and pulse until it resembles fine crumbs.
- With processor running on low, add water through feeding tube 1 tablespoon at a time until dough clumps together.
- Form into a flat disc and cover with plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms into a cigar shape. Continue to roll gently on a piece of parchment or a silicon baking mat into a long thin stick, less than half an inch thick and 7 or 8 inches long (if it breaks at any point, you can easily press it back together).
- Sprinkle with a few teaspoons of grated cheddar, gently pressing the cheese into the stick to adhere. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining dough and cheese.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until firm and cheese is lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely (they won't be crisp until they are fully cooled).
