all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: white flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Add all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, sharp cheddar cheese, and salt to a food processor.

Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse sand.

Gradually add water one tablespoon at a time while pulsing until the dough comes together.

Form the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate the dough for at least 20 minutes.

Cut the chilled dough in half or quarters for easier rolling.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Use a goldfish cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough.

Transfer the cutouts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use a toothpick to create a smile and an eye on each goldfish shape.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until puffed and cooked through.
