Cheesy fish crackers

More yummy food discoveries, thank you Nigella Lawson again. In our pursuit of food for "regular" kids we discovered an awesome snack. They are cheese crackers which she calls "cheese stars." We dutifully used a star cookie cutter but as soon as we tasted them it was clear we had to get a fish cookie cutter, because they taste just like Goldfish. They were delicious and it was hard to believe they're homemade. Nigella really knows food for kids.

Cheesy Fish (from How to Eat by Nigella Lawson)

1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

pinch salt

2 Tablespoons butter (softened)

2/3 cup grated cheddar (we used KerryGold Blarney)

1/4 cup grated parmesan (KerryGold Dubliner)

Mix well, it's crumbly at first but will come together when you knead it. Roll out to 1/8 to 1/4 inches (depending on if you want them more moist or more crunchy.) Once again Nigella's estimate is way off, it says to roll out to 1/2 inch but if you do that it only makes a few crackers. My sister pointed out this may be a problem or mistakes with the translation from metric.

Anyway, cut out with cookie cutter and bake at 400 degrees for 6-9 minutes (depending on thickness.)

I imagine the flavor will vary considerably with the cheese you use. But I think they'd be good regardless. They were definitely a hit at my son's birthday party.
