Homemade Goldfish Treats

I had fun making these, and they tasted great too. I sprinkled with salt on top just before baking.

These were surprisingly awesome. The only thing I changed was I used gluten free all purpose flower. I rolled them out a little too thick, but definitely will make again! this recipe makes A LOT too. I would sprinkle a little salt on them before baking and I think you got yourself a real goldfish cracker!

Thank you for this recipe. I used half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour. I only had white cheddar so I added a sprinkle of turmeric to give a yellow colour. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder. These turned out crispy and delicious with a lots of cheese flavour. I made them with my four year old and she loved using the cookie cutter to cut them out. Our whole family loves the result, I predict that we will be making these regularly.

Nice, home made cheez-its. I added a tablespoon of fresh chopped rosemary. The house smells great. A bit on the oily side.

I have made these several times and they are really good. The thinner they are, the crispier they become, which is my preference. I added a little dried Rosemary and they were very good. My grandson also enjoys “helping” me make AND eat them.

I made them as a healthier alternative to goldfish crackers from the supermarket. They were easy to make and had a nice cheesy taste. The dough was a bit on the dry side, so I added another tablespoon of water. Cut into dinosaur shapes, my grandson loved them. I will make them again. Not just for the grandkids, but for adults adding a bit of cayenne pepper and a bit of spice to jazz them up.

I needed to alter the recipe to be gluten free, so I used Chick pea flour. I did not have cheddar cheese on hand, but had an 8 ounce jar of Port wine cheddar spread so I used that instead. I also omitted the salt because I am on a low sodium diet. I think the cheddar spread had enough salt in it and also made the dough more moist and it was easier to roll out without breaking. I did not make any fancy cut out shapes, since this was only a test for texture and flavor. I used a pizza cutting wheel to score the dough before baking. I cut the batch in half so I could use two different baking times. I rolled it out on parchment paper then transferred everything onto the baking sheet. The ones I baked for 12 min. came out slightly toasted on the bottom, the ones I baked for 15 min. were darker. Both had a good cheese flavor and I didn't notice the chick pea flavor which I don't really care for. The darker ones tasted more like the well done cheese on a pizza which I enjoy.

Delicious treats! They taste very cheesy and awesome. I had to add just a tad bit more water because my dough was a little too dry. But, it was very yummy.

I love this recipe! I had to add an extra tablespoon and a half of water, but that has more to do with the air than the recipe. I used a pizza cutter to make square goldfish. It saves a lot of time and they are a great size for my toddler!

Good base but perhaps not enough info in the recipe. Puffs as it bakes, so even 1/4” was too thick. The slightly brown bits are best, IMHO, so I’ll cut smaller pieces (maybe diamonds) and roll even thinner. My cheese was frozen, which helps make the texture good. I recommend using frozen butter. I also recommend holding back some of the salt and sprinkling flake salt before cooking. If you like more spice, creole seasoning is a great addition too.

Easy to make! I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Delicious!!!

Mine aren’t as pretty lol but still good!! I only had about half the amount of cheese and only mozzarella but they taste great. I’m sure when I make them again using the right cheese it will be even better. My one year old really likes them, I made them a little thicker so they wouldn’t be too crispy for him. The bottom has a nice crunch and the top is puffy and soft. It does make a lot but it’ll be a good snack for a few days! Thanks for sharing
