cheddar cheese crackers (goldfish crackers)

my son LOVES cheddar bunnies/goldfish crackers. so i decided that i wanted to find a recipe to make them from scratch so that i can make them at home and save some $. I found this recipe and immediately went to the store to get what i needed to make these asap. they turned out great and both of my kids like them (and i think that they are better than the store bought ones!) I made these today and Oli kept running into the kitchen and grabbing a handful off the counter! I love when homemade recipes turn out!

Homemade goldfish crackers/cheddar cheese crackers (since i didn't have a goldfish shaped cookie cutter)
from http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2011/09/homemade-goldfish-crackers/

8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
4 Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Cubes
1 cup Flour
¾ teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Cold Water


Pulse everything (except water) together in the food processor until the dough resembles coarse sand.

Pulse in water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Remove dough from the processor, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Roll out the dough and cut into desired shapes. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. They puff up a bit and don't look as if they would be crispy but they are!
