Homemade Graham Crackers
Homemade Graham Crackers are made with a blend of all-purpose and graham flours, dark brown sugar, honey, and butter, resulting in a golden, crisp cookie with a sweet, mildly nutty flavor. Rolled thin and cut into squares, these crackers bake to a perfect balance of crunch with a slight chew. They can be served as a snack or used for recipes like s'mores or pie crusts.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1⅓ cups graham flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, the baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar and honey, and beat at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until blended and the dough comes together, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press into a 7-inch square, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days.
- When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 3-inch squares. Transfer to the baking sheet, spacing the crackers at least ¾-inch apart, gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out more cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes and then rotate the baking sheet. Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cookies are dark golden brown and just firm to the touch. Let cool for a minute on the baking sheets, then transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely (they will crisp up as they cool). Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes
- Sprinkle graham crackers with cinnamon sugar before baking for a spiced variation.
- These crackers can be used for snacking or as components in desserts such as pie crusts or s'mores.
