  • 1 1/2 cups graham flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
  3. 3
    In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle, beat butter, brown sugar, and honey on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    With mixer on low, add the flour mixture; beat until just combined.
  5. 5
    Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

    With a knife or bench scraper, cut dough into four equal pieces.

    Roll out each piece between two sheets of parchment paper into rectangles a bit larger than 9 by 6 inches, about 1/8 inch thick.
  8. 8
    Using a fluted pastry wheel, trim the outermost edges of each rectangle, and divide into three 6-by-3-inch rectangles.
  9. 9
    Pressing lightly, so as not to cut all the way through, score each piece in half lengthwise and crosswise, to form four 3-by-1 1/2-inch crackers.
  10. 10
    Stack parchment and dough on a baking sheet and chill in freezer until firm, about 20 minutes.
  11. 11
    Remove two sheets of dough from freezer.
  12. 12
    Using a fork, pierce each piece in a decorative pattern.Transfer dough (on parchment) to a large baking sheet.
  13. 13
    Bake, rotating halfway through, until crackers are deep golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  14. 14
    Repeat with remaining dough.
  15. 15
    Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before breaking crackers along perforated lines.

    Crackers can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
