- butter
- brown sugar
- honey
- molasses
- vanilla extract
- flour
- cocoa powder
- whole wheat pastry flour
- baking soda
- salt
- sugar (or ground cinnamon + sugar mixture)
DIRECTIONS –
- MIX. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with your paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and vanilla. Add the flour, cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix to form a thick dough.
- CHILL. Press the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap, then chill for one hour (or twenty minutes in the freezer).
- FORM. Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Roll out the chilled dough very thin between two sheets of parchment paper.
- BAKE.Cut the dough into rectangles or desired shapes with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheets using a spatula or bench scraper. Poke each cracker with a fork a couple of times and sprinkle with sugar. (You could also sprinkle them with some cinnamon, too!) Bake 12-15 minutes, or until puffed up slightly and darkened on the edges.
- SERVE. Eat immediately, or store in a fridge or at room temperature in ziplock baggies or an airtight container for up to 1 week.
So simple and delicious!
