Cinnamon Graham Crackers Recipe
Description
The Cinnamon Graham Crackers Recipe starts by creaming together butter, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and vanilla to create a flavorful base. Whole wheat pastry flour and all-purpose flour blend with cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to form a dough that is chilled before rolling out very thin. Baking at 350 degrees until golden yields crackers with a crisp texture and a balanced sweetness enhanced by a topping of cinnamon sugar. These crackers retain a sturdy snap, making them pleasant for snacking or as a complement to spreads and cheeses.
The cinnamon and molasses create a nuanced sweetness distinct from plain crackers, while the inclusion of whole wheat pastry flour gives a nuttier note. Rolling the dough between silicone mats and plastic wrap prevents sticking and helps achieve an even thickness, crucial for uniform baking. Their crunchy texture pairs well with drinks or desserts, and the homemade option allows control over sweetness and spice levels.
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tbsp molasses
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I found mine at the grocery store in the naturl foods section)
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- cinnamon sugar for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and vanilla.
- Add the flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, and mix to form a thick dough.
- Press the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill one hour (or twenty minutes in the freezer).
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
- Roll out the chilled dough very thin. (I found the easiest way to do this was to roll it out between a silicone baking mat and a sheet of plastic wrap. I'm sure it would also work to roll it between two sheets of parchment paper.)
- Cut the dough into desired shapes (cookie cutters are fun!) and transfer to prepared baking sheets using a spatula or bench scraper. Poke each cracker with a fork a couple of times and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
