Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week!? Are you ready? I am so excited but mostly because my little guy will be turning 3 on Thanksgiving! It’s going to be a fun day full of good food and fun celebrating him! I don’t know about you but I think there is a balance between being hungry but not too hungry you feel starving before Thanksgiving dinner. So I’m all about a little healthy snack before! These Cinnamon Graham Crackers are the perfect snack! You can make them a few days before and kid and adults love them!
I made these for my little guys birthday party and every one loved them! It’s also a perfect little snack for little ones. And a little tip. If you’d like it to be a little softer, bake them for 13 minutes instead of 15.
One thing I love about this little snack is you can cut out any shape you want or cut them into graham cracker shapes. My kids love choosing a cookie cutter and helping me cut it out. It’s really fun!
Enjoy!

Cinnamon Graham Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, chilled & cubed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- optional: 1 tablespoon wheat germ or flax seed
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- *1 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a food processor or mixer combine the first 6 ingredients. (If using wheat germ or flax seed add here.)
- Add cubed and chilled butter to the mix and pulse/mix until it resembles coarse meal.
- Add honey, water and vanilla and continue to mix until it all combines.
- Remove and shape the dough into a flat disk and place between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. (I found it easier to roll the dough w/o a sheet on top of the dough.)
- Roll dough out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut into crackers or shapes. Combine the dough scraps and roll out again to cut more shapes.
- Place cookies on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Mix together the 1 tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle on top. If it's not sticking well first brush graham cracker dough with milk. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Cool and serve.
Notes
*I added an additional 1 tsp. of sparking sugar.

What a great idea! I love cinnamon graham crackers so I know I’d love them homemade!
I’ve always wanted to try making homemade graham crackers. And admittedly the cinnamon kind is totally the best. Pinned for later!
These look so good! My boys love graham crackers and gingerbread so I’m sure they would munch these up! Pinning
Love the stars! What a cute display. The cookies look even better!
What can I use instead of whole wheat flour? Regular flour? Thanks
Yes, just use all-purpose flour.
Can i use all whole wheat flour or do i have to use all purpose too?
I haven’t tried it so I don’t know for sure. Using both types of flours makes it a little lighter and less dense. Try it and let me know! Or you could always use white whole wheat flour.
