Home Made Cheese Crackers (AKA Gold Fish Crackers)

These home made cheese crackers are so much better than store bought ones. They taste much better, and you can really taste the cheese. They are a bit chewy as well. Another reason they are better is, they are made from scratch. You can actually pronounce the ingredients.


To make the cutter, I used a cut up soda can. You can make any shape you want. For this batch, I made a fish, (looks like a guppy, not so much a gold fish) a heart, and some pretzel shapes from the scraps.
