Homemade Graham Crackers

So these are by far Jackson's favorite snack and since he is teething they are helping with that since they are a little tough but once he gets a bite  they are easy to chew.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, chilled & cubed (non dairy for me)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup water

Preparation

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2. In a food processor or mixer combine the first 6 ingredients.
  3. 3. Add cubed and chilled butter to the mix and pulse/mix until it resembles coarse meal.
  4. 4. Add honey and water and continue to mix until it all combines.
  5. 5. Remove and shape the dough into a flat disk and place between two pieces of parchment paper.
  6. 6. Roll dough out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut into crackers or shapes.
  7. 7. Place cookies on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  8. 8. Cool and serve.
  9. To Freeze: After step 6, place the cut out cookie shapes on a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes. Remove, place in a Ziploc bag, label and freeze for up to 4 months. When ready to bake, follow steps 7-8, adding an additional 1-2 minutes baking time.

Also if you want chocolate flavor ones ( which Adeline and my husband likes) just add 1/2 cup unsweetened coco powder, i did add a little more honey and water and butter because it seemed a little dry.


Enjoy!
