Homemade Goldfish crackers? Who in the world has time to make homemade crackers? They looked like they’d be difficult and totally something I wouldn’t be able to pull off. But when I tried making these Homemade Goldfish Crackers , they were... pretty darn easy. And cheesy, too. The recipe was adapted from ReadyMade magazine and it’s totally a fun little cooking project to do with kids. There are only five ingredients with very little preparation. The crackers puff up to a chewy, cheesy bite. Yum yum ！My kids love them very much.
Before getting started, decide on what shapes you’ll be cutting out. Using an aluminum can and tape, I cut a thin strip and formed my fishy, then taped the edges together with clear packing tape. Please note that the edges will be sharp therefore recommended adults' supervision when cutting the aluminum stripes. The small fishy is about 81/2 inches in length and the big ones are about 121/2 inches in length. The side is about 1/2 inches only.
I had so much fun that I made fishes and a Pac-Man below. You can also used your own existing cookie cutters as well.

Note:
~If you want a crisper cracker, roll your dough to as thin as possible. For a puffier cracker, roll till slightly thicker. Do not roll too thin or else the dough will break easily.
~ Best to be eaten immediately . Not recommended to store beyond 1 day as the crackers will soften very fast.
~ For a healthier version, you can substitute with 50% to 100% of whole wheat flour if desired.
