Place in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, place a second sheet of parchment over cracker mixture on sheet, using a second sheet (flip the sheet up side down so that it nest into the first sheet), flip the 2 sheets over together so that the dough is now on the second sheet, and peel off the bottom parchment which is now at the top. Using the now bottom parchment sheet, slide the dough back onto the warm cookie sheet (right side up). Using a knife, or pizza cutter, cut into 25 squares and put back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes. Or until crackers are browned and crisp. Turn oven off and leave the crackers in the oven to cool and firm up.
