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.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
