Manchego and Marcona Almond Shortbread Crackers ~ these savory shortbread crackers are an easy slice and bake recipe that goes beautifully with wine and cheese.
1/2cupMarcona almonds, (the kind with the skin on or off)
1stick plus 2 Tbsp cold butter, cut in pieces
1cupfinely shredded Manchego cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325F
Put the flour, salt, pepper, and almonds in the bowl of a food processor and process until the almonds are finely chopped.
Add the butter and cheese to the bowl and pulse the processor for about 10 times, and check to see if the dough holds together when you squeeze it between your fingers, process it further if necessary.
Remove the dough and form into a 9 inch log. Work the dough briefly with your hands to bring it together if it seems too crumbly.
Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends to secure, and refrigerate for an hour or more.
Slice the dough just like slice and bake cookies, about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake them on a parchment lined baking sheet for 23-25 minutes until just lightly browned. Let them cool on the baking sheet.
