Ingredients2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
1/3 c. honey
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
Optional ingredients:
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low to incorporate.
Add cold, cubed butter and mix on low until the mixture is the consistency of a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Add to the flour mixture and mix on low until the dough comes together.
Divide in half and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 2 hours in the fridge or 20 minutes in the freezer.
Once chilled, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll each dough sheet into a long rectangle about 15"x10" and 1/8" thick.
TIP: roll out onto a Silpat or parchment paper so that transferring to the baking sheet will be easier.
Using a knife or fluted pastry wheel, cut the dough rectangle into four columns and three rows.
Poke holes into crackers using a fork or toothpick.
Repeat with the second batch of dough.
The crackers may not all be the same size, however if you want a more consistent and uniform look use a square scalloped cookie cutter.
OPTIONAL: in a small bowl, combine 3 Tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle on top before baking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until slightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
