Cheesy Pecan Crackers

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup pecan flour
• 1 cup pub cheese
• 1/2 stick butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Makes 50-60 crackers
Time: 10 minutes

​Beat butter in a stand mixer with the beater attachment; add cheese and blend until combined.  Meanwhile, whisk together flour, pecan, flour, salt, paprika, and red pepper flakes.  Add dry mixture to butter/cheese mixture.  
Turn out onto a floured surface and bring dough into a cohesive ball.  Using a small ice cream scoop, portion out individual scoops.  Then roll scoops between your palms to create a ball; put dough balls on a baking sheet and press your thumb into each ball to create an indentation for the jelly.  Refrigerate dough for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 350; bake crackers for 10-12 minutes.  Once cooled add a dollop of pepper jelly (or any savory jelly) to the indentation and serve.

*To make pecan flour just grind a heaping 1/2 cup of pecans in a blender or food processor - you don't need a fine flour, a little chunky will be fine.
