Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or 1 1/2 cups graham flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons honey

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350°f.
• 2 in a medium bowl whisk together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. set aside.
• 3 the butter should be soft but not runny. in a large bowl beat butter until creamy (and even a little “fluffyâ€?). add sugar and honey and beat well. pour flour mixture into the large bowl and mix with a rubber spatula until the color is uniform and the dough easily forms into a ball.
• 4 divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls. put each ball in-between parchment or wax paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is 1/8-inch thick. (if the dough is too sticky, your room temperature may be too high. wrap up the dough and put it in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.) cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. transfer the squares onto a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/4-inch or more apart. pierce each square once with a fork.
• 5 bake the crackers for 5-8 minutes, rotating once, or until the edges are golden.
