Ingredients<\/h3>
  • <\/span>

    8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    1 cup all-purpose flour<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    \u00be tsp salt<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    \u00bc tsp garlic powder<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    \u00bc tsp onion powder<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    2 tbsp cold water<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • <\/span>

    Flaky salt, optional<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

    Directions<\/h3>
    • Add cheddar, butter, flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/li>
    • Add the cold water and pulse again just until a dough forms.<\/li>
    • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap, and chill for 20 minutes.<\/li>
    • Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>
    • Roll the dough to about \u00bc-inch thick.<\/li>
    • Cut into squares for Cheez-Its or use a mini fish-shaped cutter for Goldfish.<\/li>
    • 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.<\/li>
    • Arrange about \u00bd inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.<\/li>
    • Bake for 11\u201313 minutes, until golden and crispy.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>
