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 and made a giant Tie Fighter and Millennium Falcon! So if you have kids, go make these!!! My husband has eaten his fair share, so even if you don’t have kids try it!

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.
Billie says
Has anyone tried it with whole wheat flour?
Billie says
Try putting a piece of bread in the bag or use an airtight container
Erin says
I have not, but I have seen other recipes on other sites that have used it. Seems to work well, give it a try!
