Basil Slice and Bake Crackers

In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, peppers and salt. Stir in cheese. Set aside.

Cream the butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer. Then add pesto and mix until combined. Add flour mixture in batches and mix until incorporated. Stir in nuts and chopped basil.

Transfer half of the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic around the dough and roll on a flat surface until it is a cylinder, about 1 ½ inch diameter. Repeat with remaining section of dough. Place the plastic wrapped dough in a Ziploc bag and chill until ready to bake. You can freeze if not using right away.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 F.

Slice the logs into ¼ inch crackers and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until slightly gold around the edges. Cool on a rack. Makes about 6 dozen.
