Homemade Chocolate Crackers

Homemade Chocolate covered Crackers

yield: makes about 20 to 25 cookies

total time: 2 hours

Ingredients

2 cups graham flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup loosely packed dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dark and white chocolate, melted
sprinkles
Preparation

1. Add the flours, sugar, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt to a food processor and blend until combined. Add in the cold butter and pulse until coarse crumbs remain. Once the butter is in small pieces, add in the molasses, milk and extract, blending until the dough comes together and forms a ball in the processor. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Remove the dough and roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick in diameter. Use a biscuit cutter (round or square) to make cuts (or a knife to cut into squares) and place the dough on a nonstick baking sheet. Poke a few holes in the dough with a fork. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let cool completely.
If desired, dipped the graham crackers in dark and white chocolate. I use ghirardelli for both dark and white, melting until smooth. Dip the crackers until covered then place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Add sprinkles if you like!
