Ingredients
 

For Graham Crackers:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup butter (chilled & cubed)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • optional: 1 tablespoon wheat germ or flax seed

For Decorating:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or good-quality chocolate
  • Pink M&M's
  • Small White Shimmer Pearls

Instructions
 

To Make Graham Crackers:

  • 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 lightly dusted with flour.
  • Roll dough out until ¼ inch thick. Using a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter cut out shapes. Combine the dough scraps and roll out again to cut more shapes.
  • Place cookies on a Silpat or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 11-13 minutes.
  • Let cool.

For Decorating:

  • Once cookies completely cool, melt chocolate chips in the microwave. Place the chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Using a small spoon, cover the top of the cookies in the chocolate. Add Pink M&M's and white pearls to make a bow shape. (Pink M&M on each side, 1 white shimmer pearl in the middle.) Repeat until all cookies are decorated. Let chocolate set. Place in the refrigerator or freezer to speed it up.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

To Freeze: After step 6, place the cookie shapes on a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes. Remove, place in a Ziploc bag, label and freeze for up to 4 months. When ready to bake, follow steps 7-8, adding an additional 1-2 minutes baking time.
*For thinner graham crackers roll dough out to ⅛" thickness and bake for about 10 minutes.
