Fantastic recipe! It tastes exactly like the graham crackers from the store! My husband loved them and together with our 14-month-old daughter, we ate the whole batch in just a few days. Now I need to go make more!

Thank you, thank you!

Thanks so much for this recipe. I rolled mine right onto the back/bottom of a jelly roll pan, just like I learned from your wheat thins recipe. it worked great and was so easy.

We overcooked one batch by mistake and my six-year-old had a blast turning them into crumbs to use in crusts.

Thanks also to those who gave hints about using butter instead of Crisco, using all whole wheat and adding more flour to deal with the stick ydough. I love being able to learn from you all.

LOVED THIS RECIPE!!!
My dough was also sticky, but with some patience and coxing I was able to get it off of my wax paper and cookie pan without too much trouble (I used a butter knife to gently pry them away from the pan while they were still warm. Then let them cool on the pan before breaking them up). My husband loves gram crackers but I never think to buy them when I go shopping. Now I can give him a treat whenever he is good!

Has anyone tried it with applesauce instead of shortening yet? I thought I might try that sometime and see if it turns out to make them even more healthy.

There is 0 trans-fat shortening that can be used at this time. It has probably been out at least 2 years. I have seen it at Maceys and Costco.

I don’t know if I rolled mine out to thin, but even after spraying the pan with pam they just would not come out. We got graham cracker crumbs instead. But I must say–they are yummy!

Have you ever used dehydrated shortening in this recipe? Or in any other cookie recipe, btw?

I used butter for mine and they turned out just fine. Like someone else said, my dough was really sticky, but I just kept adding pinches of flour and it was fine. My only problem was that I didn’t roll it out thin enough, but they still tasted great! (Yes, tasted…they are gone. My son took them outside to all the neighborhood kids)

I had to put my rolled out dough (wax paper) in the freezer to get it off the paper. DH and DC LOVED them!
sweet success!
Let us know about the butter, I don’t usually (read -ever) use shortening, either.

You could also use wax paper instead of tin foil and it’s actually cheaper than parchment paper! HTH

You can get the honey like that at Costco. That’s where I get mine in a 1/2 gallon jug.
