There is something special about the smell of honey and cinnamon filling the kitchen while these bake. These crackers have a wonderful crunch that makes them perfect for munching on straight from the jar, but they are also sturdy enough to hold up for a classic s'more.

My favorite way to use these is for a homemade pie crust or an icebox cake. If you find your dough is getting a bit too soft while you work with it, just pop it into the fridge for ten minutes and it will be much easier to roll out.

🧺 Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup honey
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
2
Add the softened butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse sand.
3
Stir in the honey, milk, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
4
Divide the dough in half and wrap each piece in plastic. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
5
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
6
Roll out each piece of dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
7
Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and use a fork to prick holes all over each cracker.
8
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
9
Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet so they crisp up properly as they sit.

💡 Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If they lose their crunch over time, you can crisp them up in a warm oven for a few minutes. They are great served with a side of chocolate or used as a base for cheesecake crusts.
