Graham Crackers

Serves: Lots of crackers

Prep Time: 15 min to make the dough but depending if cutting shapes, lots longer!!

Cook Time: 12-15 min

Description:
I followed the exact recipe when I made these and they really came out excellent. Another time, I would like to try to make them more healthy by using coconut oil (which is a hard oil) and maybe a little bit more whole wheat flour. Depending on the size of the cookies, start with 10 minutes for really small ones to prevent over cooking. Source: http://healthychild.org/blog/comments/diy_graham_crackers/

Ingredients:

 * 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
 * 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
 * 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
 * 1/2 Tsp Salt
 * 1 Tsp Cinnamon
 * 1 Tsp Baking Soda
 * 1/2 Cup Butter, chilled & cubed
 * 1/4 Cup Honey
 * 1/4 Cup Water

Ingredients from another source that I would like to try next:
Source: http://www.eatgood4life.com/diy-home-made-whole-grain-graham/
 * 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
 * 1/2 cup oat bran
 * 1/4 cup honey
 * 3 tablespoons molasses
 * 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted or at room temperature
 * 4 tablespoons olive oil
 * 2 tablespoons water
 * 1/2 teaspoon aluminum free baking soda
 * 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method:

 * 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 * 2) In a food processor or mixer combine the first 6 ingredients.
 * 3) Add cubed and chilled butter to the mix and pulse/mix until it resembles coarse meal.
 * 4) Add honey and water and continue to mix until it all combines.
 * 5) Remove and shape the dough into a flat disk and place between two pieces of parchment paper. (I didn't do this step, just rolled dough on floured surface)
 * 6) Roll dough out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut into crackers or shapes.*
 * 7) Place cookies on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
 * 8) Cool and serve.


 * 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.


 * If you have no Whole Wheat, you can use 1 Cup Oat Bran to 2 Cups AP Flour instead of what the recipe calls for and it works perfect!
