Homemade Chocolate Graham Crackers
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a rectangle. Wrap the rectangles in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Take one portion of the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out desired shapes.
- Transfer the cut-out dough shapes to the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the graham crackers cool completely on a wire rack.
- Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the second portion of dough.
- Once cooled, these homemade chocolate graham crackers are ready to be devoured! Serve them as is, or use them to make s’mores or a delicious crust for pies.
How to prepare? It’s as simple as following the steps above and indulging in the chocolaty goodness. The preparation time may be around 2 hours, considering the chilling time for the dough.
