Oh, Crackers!

By Jeanne Wolfley

I was intrigued at the possibilities of making my own crackers and so I started searching the web. I found a site that has all kinds of cracker recipes. This site, https://dinnersdishesanddesserts.com/homemade-goldfish-crackers/, has several cracker recipes. I was impressed and thought I would put a big smile on all of my grandchildren's faces by making some homemade "Goldfish"-type crackers. They are easy to make and the taste is addictive! I made a pattern for the fish cracker out of a throw away aluminum pie tin. It was fun but the cutter didn't hold up well. After I made several little fishy crackers, I got out my very small square cookie cutters and went to work finishing up the dough. Children not only love the taste of these crackers but have so much fun helping you make them too.

The flax seed crackers are a recipe from a dear friend of mine and the fish crackers are from the website I shared. I think I will keep both of these recipes in my Cook'n recipe organizer under "snacks." The flax seed crackers are perfect for my health conscious family and friends. The fish crackers are just what I need for when the little guys come to grandma's house! Cha-ching!!
