Homemade Graham Crackers
Sure you can go to the store and buy graham crackers but they’ll be square and have those little holes all over them. Wouldn’t you prefer graham crackers in the shape of something darker, more menacing, more Galactic? More in the shape of…Stormtroopers.
Place these on top of marshmallow filled chocolate cupcakes and they easily turn into SmoresTroopers cupcakes. These flavorful cookies smell and taste like just store bought graham crackers with one exception, these cookies will do your bidding.
Homemade Graham Crackers
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar. Once combined, add the honey and vanilla.
Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk until combined. When the dough starts to pull away from the bowl, you’re done!
Separate the dough into two disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Keep the fridge until you are ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
Roll the dough out to a thin 1/8 of an inch. Use the Stormtrooper cookie cutters to cut out the cookies and place onto the prepped baking sheets. If you are making traditional graham crackers, cut squares and use a fork to make holes.
Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on your oven, let cool on a wire rack.
Those cookies are so cute! I also love your Darth Vader spatula! Where did you find that?
@CanineCologne
Thanks! Williams Sonoma has all the Star Wars products in stock right now.
thanks for the info! those are so cool!
When I hear graham crackers, first thought that comes to mind are S’mores! How cute would it be to have S’mores troopers?!
amazing!! cant wait to try these. i am always on the lookout to make everyday treats more healthy for my kids!!
I bought the spatulas from Williams Sonoma as well. I love evil cooking.
Star Wars Graham Crackers?! My boyfriend would love these. This will be the perfect birthday treat for him since he doesn’t like cake.
So I’ve had these cookie cutters for quite awhile now and didn’t know what to make with them. Thanks for the idea! I actually made them today and they are really, really good!!! My kids absolutely loved them.
Thanks again. BTW, I love your site.
Love it. How many stormtroopers does the recipe make?
@Emily
A lot~! I think it was about 3 dozen.
@Claudia – Jenn has many many suggestions for the Star Wars cookie cutters!! You should check through all her recipes, because she is a genius. Grilled cheese sandwiches, anyone?
Love the site, Jenn. Please keep up the good work because we are raising two Star Wars geeks, and you are helping. There is no Williams-Sonoma in Canada, so on a recent trip to NYC, I schlepped the 9 year old all over the city to buy all their SW gadgets. I thoroughly enjoyed telling the customs agent I spent $100 on cooking gear….
I saw this on pinterest and I am dying! One, I am so over processed unhealthy crap for my kids. Two, they are perfect for my kids’ lunches and snacks. I am ordering the vader cutter set and marvel cutters pronto!
About how long would these stay good in a container before I crazy and make a ton?
AAAHHHHH!!!! I’ve been looking for a homemade graham cracker recipe for a long time!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH for posting this recipe!!! I’m going to bake some this weekend!
I love this recipe! It makes fantastic graham crackers and it makes a lot. Using my little 1 1/2 inch leaf cutter, I get about 150 cookie out of one batch. They are perfect for dips and so cute for fall! They also keep well too. I made a double batch and kept them in a zip top bag in the pantry for three weeks before they were all gone. They were still very fresh and keep much better than cookies.
@Milena I’m glad you like it!
