- Whole Wheat Goldfish Crackers

WHOLE WHEAT GOLDFISH CRACKERS

Yield: About 100 tiny crackers
1½ c coarsely grated sharp cheddar
4 T butter
½ c whole wheat flour
¼ c all-purpose flour
⅛ tsp onion powder
⅛ to ¼ tsp table salt

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine all ingredients in a food processor, running the machine until the dough forms a ball, about two minutes.

If the dough feels warm or soft, wrap it in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes. This also makes it easier to transfer shapes once they are rolled out.

On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/8-inch thick. Form shapes with a cookie cutter, dipping it in flour from time to time to ensure a clean cut. Gently transfer crackers to an ungreased cookie sheet with a 1/2 inch between them. Bake the crackers on the middle rack for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are barely browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and set the cookie sheet on a rack to cool.
