Homemade Cheez-Its + Goldfish Crackers

Directions

• Add cheddar, butter, flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the cold water and pulse again just until a dough forms.
• Shape the dough into a disk, wrap, and chill for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough to about ¼-inch thick.
• Cut into squares for Cheez-Its or use a mini fish-shaped cutter for Goldfish.
• Use a toothpick to make an eye in each Goldfish and a hole in the center of each Cheez-It. This allows steam to escape and helps prevent them from puffing too much.
• Arrange about ½ inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
• Bake for 11–13 minutes, until golden and crispy.
