2 1/2 c Whole-wheat flour
1 stick Margarine or butter - melted
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Honey
1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c Light brown sugar - packed
3 tb Sugar
2 lg Eggs
In large bowl, with wire whisk or fork, beat margarine or butter, honey,
brown sugar, and eggs just until blended. With spoon, stir in whole-wheat
flour and remaining ingredients except sugar. Divide dough into 3 balls.
Wrap 2 balls in plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350`F. On floured large cookie sheet, with floured rolling
pin, roll remaining ball of dough into a rectangle slightly larger than
15x13-inch. Trim side to make 15x12 inch rectangle. Using dull edge of
knife, score rectangle lengthwise into 3 strips; score each strips
crosswise into 5 rectangles. Decorate center of each rectangle by pressing
favorite holiday cookie cutter into dough by making sure not to cut all the
way through. (Use the same cookie cutter for all rectangles or choose as
many different ones to decorate rectangles as you like.) Sprinkle with 1
tablespoon sugar.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes until edges begin to brown. Cook on cookie sheet on
wire rack 2 minutes; slice onto rack to cook completely. Repeat with
remaining dough and sugar.
When cool, break each large rectangle into 15 smaller rectangle along
scored line. Makes 45 crackers.
