Homemade Graham Crackers II

  • I've found this recipe is easier than the recipe I found from Martha Stewart. The process is similar to sugar cookies, but with less sugar.

  • 1/2 cup butter or shortening
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk

  • *optional: substitute part of flour for wheat germ, flax seed meal, etc

  • Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl, then mix into wet ingredients, adding milk a little at a time to achieve consistency similar to play dough. Roll out on floured surface to 1/8" thickness and cut with cookie cutters or use pastry wheel to cut rectangles. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake 350 for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned. Optionally, place dough in refrigerator for at least one hour to allow dough to become more firm.
