Make a cookie cutter from an aluminum can by cutting it into a strip about 3 3/4 inches wide and 4 inches long, then crimp the edges to avoid sharpness.

Shred 1 cup of orange sharp cheddar cheese using a fine grater.

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup of cake flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of cheese powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder to the mixture and mix well.

Pour in 1/2 cup of whole milk and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then stir to moisten the mixture.

Knead the dough by hand until it forms a cohesive ball, then cover and let it rest for at least 10 minutes or refrigerate until ready to use.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness, being careful not to roll too thin to prevent burning.

Use the homemade cookie cutter to cut out fish shapes and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, packing them close together as they do not spread.

Optional: Use a toothpick to add smiles to the fish shapes.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them as they can brown quickly.

Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving.
