SHARP CHEDDAR GOLDFISH CRACKERS

Snack time!!! My kids love to eat snack. Sometimes its hard to come up with new ideas. You know...something different to snack on. Lately, instead of coming up with a new snack, we have been trying to make our own snack. Here is the latest the we have made - GOLDFISH CRACKERS.

I don't have a small fish shaped pastry cutter so I have decided to make my own using aluminum. I made 3 pieces (one for each of my kids and one for myself). That way..we don't fight over it. Ha ha!

These crackers usually don't stay cool because after waiting a minute from the time its out of the oven it goes straight to being digested. :)

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground pepper

2-4 tbsp water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix flour, butter, cheese, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl.  Add 2 to 4 tbsp water, one tbsp at a time, and only enough so that the dough forms a ball. Wrap the dough in a Ziploc, and cool for at least 1 hour.

Once cooled, roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out using you cutter.

Place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Here's a picture of my son doing a great job lining them up.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
