Ingredients

10 tablespoons butter (148g), softened
¾ cup dark brown sugar (169g)
1 large egg (50g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cup whole wheat flour (187g)
¾ cup unbleached AP Flour (90g)
½ cup dark cocoa (45g), Dutch-processed
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
10 tablespoons butter, ¾ cup dark brown sugar
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
1 ½ cup whole wheat flour, ¾ cup unbleached AP Flour, ½ cup dark cocoa, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Roll out the dough to ¼ inch or ⅛ inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper.
Rolling between parchment makes it easier and prevents sticking.
Use a fluted cookie cutter to create uniform squares, or score with a pizza cutter, and prick with a fork for a traditional graham cracker look.
Bake on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes (for ¼ inch) or 10-12 minutes (for ⅛ inch), until crisp.
