Graham Crackers

My nieces and nephew love to cook and bake.  We usually make cupcakes and brownies.  I wanted to try something new and fun.  Since my nephew loved graham crackers, he asked if we could make some.  After doing some research, I found out that it was really easy to make.  

I was able to purchase some cute cookie cutters in Saizen for only Php 99 for a set of 3!  It was perfect for the three of them.

Here's the recipe I used from Bless This Mess:

Ingredients: 

2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp honey
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter, melted 

Place all your dry ingredients in the bowl of your mixer and combine.  Add all of the wet ingredients and mix with the cooke paddle attachment until everything comes together.  The dough isn't sticky and is moderately greasy. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Divide the dough in half and roll out on a floured surface.  Roll to about 1/4 inch thick.  You can treat the dough like a sugar cookie dough and cut out shapes or you can use a pizza cutter and cut out squares.  Place the cut out crackers on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, prick them with a fork, and bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges just slightly darken.  They will harden up more as they cool.  Store in an air tight container.

The kids had a blast making it!  They loved mixing the ingredients, rolling the dough and cutting the shapes.  They were also delighted by how yummy it tasted and wanted to sell it in their school bazaar and give it as gifts for Christmas!
