Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) whole wheat flour (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in the butter: Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and cut in using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together honey, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  4. Form the dough: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until dough just comes together; avoid overmixing.
  5. Chill the dough: Flatten dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  7. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough to about 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness.
  8. Cut and dock: Cut dough into 2×3 inch rectangles or squares and prick holes evenly with a fork to prevent puffing.
  9. Bake: Arrange crackers on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp around edges.
  10. Cool completely: Transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool; they will crisp further as they cool.
  11. Prepare chocolate dip: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  12. Serve: Place crackers on a plate with a bowl of warm chocolate dip and enjoy.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky, crispy crackers. Do not overwork the dough to avoid toughness. Roll dough thin (about 1/8 inch) for best crispiness. Dock crackers with a fork to prevent puffing. Watch oven closely near end of baking to avoid burning. If chocolate dip thickens, gently rewarm while stirring. Dough can be chilled up to 24 hours before baking. Crackers can be frozen after baking for up to 2 months.
