Whattodowithgrahamcrackers Recipes

Steps:

• Place both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the molasses, milk and vanilla extract and process until the dough forms a ball, approximately 1 minute. Press the ball into a 1/2-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Unwrap the chilled dough and place it onto a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it is 1/8-inch thick. Slide the rolled dough and parchment paper onto a half sheet pan. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough, using a rolling pizza cutter into 2-inch square pieces, by making vertical and then horizontal cuts all the way across the dough. Trim off any excess. Using a fork, poke holes all over the top of the dough. Leave the crackers on the pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until the edges just start to darken. Remove from the oven, set the sheet pan with the crackers on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once completely cool, break into individual crackers and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk together flours, graham cracker crumbs, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture. Beat until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out star shapes using a 3-inch cutter. Gently press a 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter into the center of each to create an outline. Transfer cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Bake cookies until pale gold, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets set on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.
• Make the marshmallow filling: Cook sugar, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat, stirring and brushing down sides of pan with a pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until a candy thermometer reaches 260 degrees, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over remaining 3/4 cup water in a heatproof bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, and cook, whisking constantly, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat. Whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Once sugar mixture reaches 260 degrees, immediately whisk gelatin mixture into saucepan (it will foam up). Reduce speed on egg whites to low, and gradually add sugar-gelatin mixture to egg whites. Raise speed to high, and beat until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer half of the marshmallow filling to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/4-inch opening. (Leave remaining marshmallow in bowl with mixer on low speed.) Immediately, pipe marshmallow around edges of half of the cookies and fill in centers, then top with another cookie, pressing lightly. Dip edges of cookies into coconut to coat. Repeat with remaining marshmallow filling, cookies, and coconut.

Steps:

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar. Stir in the vanilla. Combine the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Cover and chill dough until firm.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles. Place 1/2 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp. Edges will be golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.
