Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Sift together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a food processor or by hand, cream the butter and sugars together. Add honey and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, and process or beat until a dough is formed.

  4. Step 4

    Form dough into a rectangle and roll it very thin between two sheets of wax paper, to about 6 by 12 inches. Then freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove top layer of wax paper and cut dough into 36 2-inch squares. Place squares close together on a baking sheet. Prick centers with tines of a fork. If necessary, re-roll, chill, and cut any scraps.

  6. Step 6

    Bake cookies 15 minutes, until they just begin to color. Leave them on the baking sheet 10 minutes; then, transfer to racks to cool before using.

Cooking Notes

15 minutes in the oven was wayyyyy to long for my gas oven at 350 degrees. I would check them after 10.

made with olivani margarine, 112g, wholemeal spelt flour and 00 bakers flour because we don’t have graham flour in NZ, a generous measure of cinnamon, but everything else by the book. not technically vegan because of the honey, but great for “vegans*” like me. Actually the second batch I’ve made in the last 24hrs, as the first one was so good, we used some to make ‘firecracker’ edibles and then accidentally demolished the rest.

I shouldn't be posting this because I didn't make this recipe. Next time I WILL! The recipe I did make called for graham flour and no butter/oil. For a novice, it was near impossible to roll out the scraps. The crackers were so hard, I was afraid I was going to break a tooth so I tossed them. I think the whole wheat pastry flour and butter are really needed to make a lighter cracker. Like Maghil, I think I will put in more whole wheat pastry flour. Maybe swap sugar for more honey

Made homemade s'mores with these. Light honey-graham flavor. By accident, I flipped the flour amounts and made with 1 cup of whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 cup of regular AP flour, and it still turned out delicious. Recipe does not yield 36 cookies -- yields about 15. I left some of my edges craggy, and no one in my family complained!

Works great for my egg, peanut allergy grandchild. Had to order Graham flour from Amazon/Whole Fds. Makes a lot if rolled thin, but we like em cookie (not cracker) thin. Really good cookies. Use US butter & a bit of salt.

15 minutes in the oven was wayyyyy to long for my gas oven at 350 degrees. I would check them after 10.

A 6x12 rectangle won’t yield 36 2-inch cookies—need12 x 12. I needed GF crumbs so made with Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF flour & subbed skin-on almond flour for the graham flour. They need watching for over browning and are very friable, turning into crumbs on their own.
