Instructions
Cackling Crackers:
To Create Witch Stencil: Click on this link for a PDF file of the witch template. Print the witch template onto a piece of card stock paper. Cut out image of the witch.
Pour flour, baking powder, and kosher salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse three times. Add 6 tablespoons butter and pulse 10 times. Add milk and black paste food coloring and pulse until the mixture forms a ball. If the dough looks dry, add up to a tablespoon of milk. You can also do this in a bowl, using a pastry cutter or large fork.
Pour dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 10 times. Divide dough into three balls. Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl. Place dough balls into a bowl and coat them in the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly flour work surface. Roll the dough out as thin as possible. Lay witch stencil on dough and cut out around witch. Cut remaining dough with witch-shaped cookie cutters, re-rolling as needed. Place cutouts on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Prick each cracker all over using a fork. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Brush crackers with butter and sprinkle salt, to taste, over tops. Bake for 8-12 minutes until crackers are crisp.
Full Moon Dip (Chicken Dip):
Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until combined. Spread into a 9” round ramekin or pie plate. Bake, covered with foil, in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes. Top with large witch crackers and serve hot with remaining Cackling Crackers.
