Honey Grahams - A Christmas Cookie

Honey Grahams taste crisp and sweet with a warm honey flavor. I enjoy making these cookies because of their ease in mixing and roll-out. I can choose to make either crackers or cut-outs or both. Important note: Buzz Savories honey is the primary ingredient of the exceptional Honey Graham cracker/cookie flavor. Make this cookie as delicious and good-for-you as possible by searching for and buying a local honey.

Instructions

  • Measure and stir together the dry ingredients.
    2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup unbleached flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp soda

    ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup butter, ⅓ cup Buzz Savories local honey
  • Add vanilla and milk to the wet ingredients (the mixture will look curdled).
    1 tsp vanilla, ½ cup milk
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix to blend.
  • Place the dough in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate over night.
  • On day 2, divide the dough into 4 equal parts. I weigh each quarter although if a scale is not available, form the dough into quarters that are as equal in weight that you can make them.
  • Set oven temperature to 350 Degrees.
  • Lightly flour a pastry cloth or a flat surface for rolling the dough.
  • Unwrap one quarter and roll the dough into a 6" x 15" rectangle.
  • Cut the shapes with a cookie cutter or lightly mark squares if you are making graham crackers.
  • For crackers, prick the surface with a fork and sprinkle with sugar or a cinnamon (light on cinnamon) and sugar mix.
  • Bake 13-15 minutes until the edges turn slightly darker brown. The cookies/crackers crisp when they cool

Frosting

  • Blend the ingredients and mix until smooth.
    2 cups powdered sugar, 4-5 Tb Half and Half cream, ½ tsp vanilla
  • Divide into several saucers and color each as you wish.
    drops a gel or food color of your choice
  • Dip the surface of the cookie into the frosting, sprinkle and set aside to dry.
    1 pinch sparkles/cookie sprinkles
  • I painted the cookies in the photo with a pastry brush
  • Set aside for the frosting to harden. Eating is the best part
