Author Notes
These chocolate cinnamon graham crackers have a lovely texture and a wheaty, sweet flavor. Top them with oven-toasted marshmallows so that you can enjoy the best part of camping—the s’mores—without ever leaving your kitchen! For a more lunchbox-friendly version, serve them plain or topped with your favorite nut butter. —Samantha Seneviratne
What You'll Need
Ingredients
-
3/4 cup
whole-wheat flour
-
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the parchment and rolling pin
-
1/2 cup
Dutch-process cocoa powder
-
1/4 cup
wheat bran
-
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt
-
3/4 cup
unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks, 170 grams, or 12 tablespoons), at room temperature
-
1/2 cup
dark brown sugar
-
3 tablespoons
granulated sugar
-
2 tablespoons
molasses
-
2 tablespoons
honey or maple syrup
-
12
marshmallows, for serving
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, wheat bran, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the molasses and honey and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- Divide the dough in 2, wrap each half in plastic wrap and flatten into a rectangle. Chill until firm enough to roll, at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- On a floured piece of parchment and using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the dough rectangles to an even 1/8-inch-thick. Trim the edges and cut the dough into about 2-inch-by-4-inch rectangles, but don't separate the cookies. Score each rectangle in half crosswise, but don't cut all the way through. Using a fork, make 3 indentations in each square. Transfer the parchment with the rolled dough to a baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Bake until the edges have darkened slightly and the dough is set and dry, 15 to 18 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, use a knife to cut them apart. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet on a rack.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 with with the remaining dough, re-rolling the scraps once if needed.
- When you’re ready to serve, set the oven to broil on high with a rack in the upper third. Set 12 marshmallows on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil to the desired doneness, just a couple minutes. Immediately transfer 2 marshmallows each to 6 crackers. Top with the remaining 6 crackers.
