Yield 35–40

Ingredients

Pine & Pepper Spices

1 Tbsp. Midnight Mocha Spice
Shop →
¼ cup Natural Cocoa Powder
Shop →
1 tsp. French Fleur de Sel
Shop →
¼ tsp. Cayenne Chile Powder
Shop →
  • ¾ cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 stick Unsalted butter, softened
  • 5 Tbsp. Granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Brown sugar
  • 1 large Egg yolk

Directions

  1. 1

    Sift the flour, Natural Cocoa Powder, ½ tsp. of the French Fleur de Sel, Cayenne Chile Powder, and Midnight Mocha Spice into a medium bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars on low speed until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and beat until well combined.

  3. 3

    With the mixer still on low, add the flour mixture in small additions, working just until the dough pulls together.

  4. 4

    Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth — it should feel like pastry dough.

  5. 5

    Shape into a single log about 1½ inches across, wrap in wax paper, and chill at least 30 min. to firm up.

  6. 6

    Heat the oven to 350°F. Slice the chilled log into rounds about ⅛- to ¼-inch thick.

  7. 7

    Press the tines of a fork gently into the top of each cracker to make three small impressions. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and bake for 12 min.
