Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups whole wheat flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Cream together the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until well combined.Scrape sides and add in vanilla and egg. Mix until combined.
Add whole wheat flour and baking powder to the bowl. Mix slowly at first gradually getting faster until the dough comes together. The texture should be like Playdoh. Add a little flour or water if needed to get it to a soft, pliable consistency.
Turn out onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin and roll the dough out thin (think graham cracker thin.). The cookies will not rise while baking, they will not get thinner while baking. Roll out to your desired FINISHED thickness.
Use cookie cutters or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles.
Poke the rectangles with a fork.
Transfer to a greased cookie sheet (or parchment lined). Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, you don't want these to start turning brown (burning) but you do want them to bake long enough so they are crackery. They should feel stiff if tapped while in the oven.
Allow the crackers to cool completely before removing from pan.
