My son is obsessed with cheese crackers. I mean obsessed. He could probably live on Goldfish, Cheese Nips, Whales….all of them! So when I saw Katrina make Homemade Cheese Nips, I was in awe! I knew I had to do it. But I don’t have the cute pastry cutter she has, so I had to do something else. Then I saw Miss Anthropist’s Kitchen made her own goldfish cracker cutter! I was all over this!
This recipe is SUPER easy! I told a friend I was making these, and she laughed at me. She said please tell me you are joking, and that is just code for you didn’t make anything that today. Nope, I made them, and they are easy. Ok, I will admit the goldfish part gets kind of annoying. I made a tiny cutter, so it just was time consuming. But if you cut them in squares like Cheese Nips, you would be done in no time! With the last bit of dough I got out our new Star Wars Sandwich Cutter
Homemade Goldfish Crackers
Adapted from In Katrina’s Kitchen
Printable Recipe
1 cup Flour
4 Tbls Butter, cut into small pieces
8 ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
3/4 tsp Salt
2 Tbls cold water
Pulse everything together in the food processor until it resembles coarse sand.
Pulse in water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Remove, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minute.
Roll out dough, and cut into desired shape. You can use a toothpick to make the eyes and smile if desired. Place on lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until crispy.

These goldfish crackers are SUPER CUTE!!! Looks so puffy and crunchy and texture of crackers seem perfect. I'm afraid I can finish eating this whole batch in one day (or half day actually…).

This is the cutest thing ever! God bless you for having so much patience. I don't think I could bear cutting out the tiny fish — more like cut the slab of dough in 4 and bake. LOL

Adorable! I think I might have to forego the tiny goldfish cutter, though and give myself an easier time of it!

I saw Katrina's blog and am making these for my father – he's goldfish/cheese nip crazy, too! He's going to be 81 this winter, so what do you get a guy who has everything and needs nothing? The fish are adorable!

What's with the goldfish? I love the orangey colour they remind me of Wotsits (it's a British thing). I'm strangely drawn!

What an awesome idea! Of all the baking I've ever done…I've yet to make crackers of any kind! These look better than the real thing. And I love that you made your own cookie…or cracker…cutter! : )

I made these and my daughter LOVES them (although I didn’t have the time or patience to cut them into fish shapes – I just made them square). However, when I stored them in a Ziploc storage bag, the crackers got soft/soggy. Any suggestions to prevent that? My daughter doesn’t mind that they’re soft, but I prefer them crunchy.
Has anyone tried it with whole wheat flour?
Try putting a piece of bread in the bag or use an airtight container
I have not, but I have seen other recipes on other sites that have used it. Seems to work well, give it a try!
