In keeping with the halloween pumpkin theme I decided to make pumpkin graham crakers. The origianl recipe can be found here. These were cute and my kids seemed to like them, I don't think that they realized they have actual pumpkin in them.
2 T (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 T pumpkin puree
1 egg
6 T sugar
4 T honey
1/2 t baking soda
1 t ginger
1 t nutmeg
1 t cinnamon
3/4 t allspice
2 t water
3/4 t salt
1 1/2 C whole wheat flour
3/4 C all-purpose flour
Combine the butter, pumpkin, egg, and sugar in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the honey.
Dissolve the baking soda in the water and add to the butter mixture.
Add the salt, graham flour, all-purpose flour, and spices to the mixture and blend thoroughly. The dough should hold together and be manageable. If it is too tacky, add a little more graham flour.
Liberally dust a surface with graham flour and roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Use your cookie cutters to cut out pumpkins or any other shape.
Use the tines of a fork to make Jack O' Lantern faces on the pumpkins.
Using a spatula, place the pumpkin graham crackers on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool on racks. They won't be hard when you first take them out of the oven, but they will harden as they cool.
