Description
A straightforward recipe for making homemade graham cracker style cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the honey and vanilla extract. Add the egg and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a knife or a cookie cutter to cut the dough into squares or rectangles.
- Place the cut dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheets. Prick the tops of the cookies several times with a fork.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a more traditional look, you can score the dough lightly with a knife before baking to mimic the cracker lines.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
