I love making Homemade Crackers. I’ve tried several recipes before but this recipe is a real winner. My daughter shared this recipe for homemade goldfish crackers over a year ago. She is very good about cooking from scratch and making sure she knows exactly what her children are eating. These crackers are perfect for snacking or enjoying with a glass of wine. No matter how you enjoy them I can guarantee they won’t last long! They also are easy to make and you can whip up a batch in no time.
Now I don’t have a little fish cookie cutter so instead used a little heart cookie cutter to make my crackers. The heart cookie cutter worked out perfectly. They are delicious and store well if they don’t get eaten quickly! You could also use a small round cookie cutter or any other small shape would work.
Homemade Cheese Crackers
2 cups finely grated sharp cheddar cheese.
¾ cups whole wheat pasty flour (worked fine with just whole wheat flour)
¼ tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp light flavored oil
In a food processor blend everything but the oil together. When the ingredients are well blended add the oil and blend until the mixture becomes crumbly. Place the dough in a large bowl and knead into a ball. If it is too dry you can add an extra Tbsp of oil
Roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness and cut with your cookie cutter. I found it worked really well to just roll out a small portion of dough at a time.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container. I imagine these would freeze well but they were consumed so quickly I didn’t have a chance to find out!
Enjoy!

Hi Nancy,
Yum ~ these look good. Approximately how many crackers did you get (using your small heart-shape cutter)?
I don’t have a food processor, but do have a Kitchen Aid mixer. Think I could use my Kitchen Aid instead of a food processor?
Any bites on your house yet? Selling a home is not fun. I know first-hand how hard it is to keep it nice and organized and clean every day just in case a Realtor calls for a showing. Ugh, I was about ready to give up but finally started getting calls. Then I was about ready to throw in the towel because we were getting lots and lots of showings, but no offers. Then things turned around and offers started coming (too low of course) until one Realtor called – had a client coming from Nevada to look at the house, and she bought it that day (the Realtor is her daughter). They paid cash and closed almost immediately putting up in a real bind because we didn’t have a place to move to at the time. We ended up renting back our home — NOT A GOOD FEELING – until we found our farm.
Hang in there Girlie …. your time will come …. don’t give up or throw the towel in …. your Buyer will come when you least expect it.
Happy Day To You ~ Bobbie

These look really good and I can actually spell all the ingredients! 😉 It would be a lot of fun to actually find a small fish cookie cutter and make these with my grandchildren. And, since the temperature is fairly moderate at only 350 degrees, I would bet they will bake up nicely in my Sun Oven! Thanks so much for the recipe!
