Equipment

  • bowl
  • stand mixer
  • large bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • knife
  • pastry wheel
  • wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (170 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature (113 grams)
  • cup packed light or dark brown sugar (70 grams)
  • cup honey (112 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream (125 ml)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla until the mixture is pale and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in four separate additions. Alternate these additions with the heavy cream, scraping the bowl between each addition.
  • Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a rectangular disk. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to several days.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough at a time to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares using a knife or pastry wheel.
  • Arrange the dough squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/4 inch space between them. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers begin to turn golden brown.
  • Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
