Santa Makes Graham Crackers

Welcome to another episode of In the Kitchen with Santa
Today, Santa 365 is joined by his GrandElf (Grandaughter) Abi, and We'll be making Graham Crackers. Those of us at the North Pole affectionately call them "Gramp Crackers," because it makes Santa chuckle so much. Santa's Homemade Graham Cracker recipe gives us what we all know and love -- a toasty, cinnamon-y, golden brown crunchy cookie that's perfect for your own homemade pie crusts, desserts, and especially for making S'Mores around the fire pit.

Santa's Graham (Gramp) Cracker Recipe

Servings: 22 Graham Crackers
Ingredients

- 2 cups  whole wheat flour 
- 1 cup light brown sugar 
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 
- 3/4 teaspoon salt 
- 8 tablespoons  butter, room temperature 
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 cup  honey
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract 
- extra cinnamon and sugar blend  for decorating

Instructions
- Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the butter to the dry ingredients and cut it together with a kitchen knife, until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. You can also do this in a stand mixer or a food processor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, and vanilla.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky and soft. 
- Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour so it's easy to roll. As previously mentioned this is a very soft dough, so the longer it chills the better. 
- On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough to a little more ¼ inch thick. Note: keep the surface and your rolling pin dusted with flour to prevent the dough from sticking too much. 
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2 x 5-inch rectangles. Using a knife, score the cookies down the center lengthwise, then in half across. Using a fork, prick the Grahams on either side of the scored lines. This will create the classic Graham Cracker cookie pattern. Gently transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F (180°C) for roughly 10-12 minutes. I like to bake them for 10 minutes so they are still soft and not crunchy. 
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Eat as is or use them to make S'mores.
