Ingredients
-
1 cup whole wheat flour
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ cup chilled butter, cubed
-
¼ cup honey
-
¼ cup water
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, kosher salt, cinnamon, and baking soda to a food processor or mixer. Pulse or mix until combined.
-
Add the chilled cubed butter and pulse or mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
-
Add the honey and water. Continue mixing just until the dough comes together.
-
Remove the dough and shape it into a flat disk.
-
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about ¼ inch thick.
-
Cut the dough into cracker shapes using cookie cutters, or cut into squares with a knife.
-
Transfer the cutouts to a Silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
-
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crackers are firm and lightly crisp.
-
Let the crackers cool completely before serving.
Notes
-
Keep the butter cold: Chilled butter helps create a tender, crisp cracker texture.
-
Roll evenly: Aim for a consistent ¼-inch thickness so the crackers bake at the same rate.
-
Don’t overwork the dough: Mix only until the dough comes together to help prevent tough crackers.
-
Use parchment: Rolling the dough between parchment makes it easier to handle and reduces sticking.
-
Cool completely: The crackers will firm up further as they cool.
