Homemade Graham Crackers!

My son loves graham crackers and so I took it upon myself to figure out how to make them homemade and decrease the preservatives once again from his snacks. I found a recipe we like from Chasing Delicious.






Ingredients

 8 ounces (1 1/2 cups) Whole Wheat Flour
 2 ounces (1/2 cup) all purpose flour
 1 teaspoon baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 3 ounces (1/2 cup) brown sugar 
 3 ounces (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cold
 3 ounces (1/4 cup) honey
 1/8 cup Almond milk (regular milk)
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 Sprinkled Cinnamon & Sugar on top of each cracker 

Instructions

 1. Place the flours, baking powder and soda, salt and sugar in a
    food processor. Pulse until combined.
 2. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles corn
    meal.
 3. Add the honey, milk and vanilla and pulse until the mixture begins
    to come together and form a dough.
 4. Dump the mixture out onto parchment paper and knead a few moments
    if needed. 
 5. Preheat the oven to 350F.
 6. Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to 1/8th to 1/4 inch thick.
 7. Using a cookie cutter (i used a ridged cookie cutter) or using
    a pizza cutter cut out square cookies. Using a toothpick or skewer,
    pokes holes in the top in any pattern you wish.
    I made some large cookies at 2 inches and some small at 1 inch.
 8. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Sprinkle each cookie with cinnamon and sugar. 
 9. Bake in a preheated oven for 13-15 minutes for 2 inch cookies or until the sides begin
    to brown. Keep an eye on them so they don't get burnt.
