A process for making shaped snack products includes the steps of cutting dough pieces in a dough sheet, and then separating the dough pieces from a web scrap. The separating step can be performed by directing pressurized gas at the dough pieces, while moving separated dough pieces, and while moving the web scrap at an angle relative to the dough pieces. A system for performing the process includes a cutter mechanism having cutting segments with stepped cutting edges configured to cut the dough pieces with continuous sealed and shaped edges. The system also includes a gas discharge system for directing pressurized gas at the dough pieces during separation from the web scrap. In addition, the system includes a web scrap mechanism configured to move and orient the web scrap during separating of the dough pieces. A snack product includes two cooked dough layers having a continuous double thickness shaped edge along an outer periphery thereof, and a sealed chamber forming a center portion thereof.
