Ingredients

  • •1 cup all-purpose flour
  • •1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
  • •4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • •1/4 teaspoon salt
  • •1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • •1/4 cup water
  • •1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. 1Mix flour, grated cheddar, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
  2. 2Cut in softened butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add water a little at a time until dough comes together.
  3. 3Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness.
  4. 4Cut out fish shapes using a small fish-shaped cookie cutter and place on lined baking sheets.
  5. 5Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. 6Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Goldfish-style crackers need very cold cheese dough when cut; warm butter and cheddar blur the tiny shapes before they bake.
