Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup All purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, using an hand held mixer cream together the butter, sugar and honey until well combined.
    Add the egg and vanilla, and continue to mix until smooth.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into butter mixture. You might need to get in there with your hands and knead it just until it comes together.
    Shape the dough into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place dough onto parchment paper and place another paper on top of dough, and roll the dough to a ¼-inch (6 mm) thickness.
  • Using  any cookie cutters of your choice) I like to use animal cookie cutters, cut out the dough into shapes. Place the crackers 1-inch (3 cm) apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
  • Let cool for at least 5 minutes. ENJOY!

Notes

Stored cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
You don’t have to chill you can use it straight away but it’s a little easier to roll when it has chilled for a bit.
