Dough is me

Behold -- the sun, setting on cracker puns. Or is it the cracker of dawn?

No, wait -- it's proof that some things continue to be worth cooking long past the time that I can think of funny things to say about them.

Olive You Long Time Crackers

1/2 cup butter
2 cups parmesan cheese, shredded
2 1/4 cups flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp salt
4 cloves finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup half and half
2/3 cup chopped olives

*Mix all ingredients until blended. Knead the dough until smooth, and then let it rest in a covered bowl for about 10 minutes.

* Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

*Roll the dough out thinly, adding flour as needed. (If dough is too dry, add in more half and half.) Use a pizza cutter or cookie cutter to create desired shapes.

*Bake on foil lined cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for another 10 minutes before serving.
