Servings 22 s'mores

Equipment

  • 2 large cookie sheets
  • baking/parchment paper
  • large mixing bowl
  • small mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • rubber spatula
  • rolling pin
  • plastic wrap
  • pizza cutter or cookie cutters
  • fork
  • cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • flour for rolling pin and surface

Instructions
 

  • Line cookie sheets with baking/parchment paper and preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
  • In large mixing bowl, mix wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Choose a spoon that has been imbued with an element aligned with your intentions if you have one. Mix in a clockwise motion to infuse your intention into the dough.
  • Add butter to dry ingredients. Use your hands to mix until the dough looks like course breadcrumbs.
  • In small mixing bowl, whisk together milk, honey, and vanilla in a clockwise motion keeping your intention in mind.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use rubber spatula to ensure all the wet mixture goes into the dry mixture. Mix with spoon until dough forms. The dough will be sticky and soft.
  • Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour (I like to leave mine overnight) because the longer it chills, the easier it will be to roll later. During this step, you can choose to carve a rune or personal symbol onto the dough that reinforces your intentions.
  • Sprinkle flour generously onto the counter and rolling pin. Roll out the dough until it’s a quarter inch thick. You will have to continually sprinkle flour throughout this process so that your dough doesn’t stick to anything.
  • You can use the pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles or you can use cookie cutters to cut the dough into whatever shape aligns with your intention. I personally used rectangles to give a solid foundation to my intentions, but you can choose anything you want.
  • After placing the cut outs onto your cookie sheets, poke holes in the with your fork and, if they are large shapes, score the dough with a knife for easier breaking after they have cooked.
  • Bake cookies in oven for 10-12 minutes. The longer you leave them in, the crisper they’ll be.
  • Once they’re cool enough to touch, tear apart if needed and place on cooling rack.
