Ingredients

  • 680 grams unsalted butter (softened)
  • 280 grams brown sugar
  • 230 grams granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 700 grams all purpose flour
  • 300 grams whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Once the butter has become room temperature and is soft, add the butter, along with the vanilla extract and honey to your stand mixer with the paddle attachment and begin mixing on a low speed.
  2. Slowly stream in the sugars and continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and airy, about 2 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, measure and sift the flours, salt, baking soda and cinnamon into a bowl.
  4. After the butter/sugar mixture is light and airy, turn the mixer off and add about ⅓ of the flour mixture. Turn the mixer back on, on to the lowest setting. Mix slowly to combine.
  5. Once combined, turn the mixer off, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure it’s all mixed and add the second third of the flour mixture.
  6. Repeat once more until all the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Once everything is incorporated and you are left with a solid mass of dough in the mixer, Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour.
  8. After the dough has rested for at least 30 minutes, Remove the dough from the plastic wrap and place on a lightly floured counter to roll into crackers.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350 F and spray a baking sheet with pan spray.
  10. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about ⅛ inch thickness.
  11. Using a square/rectangle cookie cutter, or a pizza cutter to shape by hand, cut the graham crackers into shapes that are about 3 inches x 3 inches.
  12. Using a pastry docker or fork, poke holes into each cracker and place onto the baking sheet.
  13. Bake at 350 F for about 12-15 minutes or until the crackers are crisp and golden brown.
  14. Once finished baking, cool on cooling racks to prevent over-baking.
  15. Enjoy!
