Graham Crackers

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups shortening
• 0.75 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Cream together shortening and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in vanilla. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed mixture alternately with milk. Cover and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

3. 3

   Roll chilled dough out to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 48 rectangles. Place 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove crackers from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.
