2cupswhole wheat or white whole wheat flour + extra if needed.
1cupgraham flour*
¾teaspoonbaking soda
1teaspoonsalt
2sticks1 cup butter, softened
¾cupbrown sugar
¾cupgranulated sugar
4egg yolksto room temperature
1teaspoonvanilla
1 ½cupsmini chocolate chips
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the flours, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla and continue blending until smooth, scraping the bowl if necessary. Slowly add in the flours and continue mixing until flour and sugar mixture is well blended. Add more flour if necessary as you will want the dough just barely stiff, to the point it begins to pull away from the sides.
Once dough is ready, turn off mixer and knead or gently fold in chocolate chips. Divide the dough into three equal portions, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one hour or overnight.
When dough is chilled, remove dough from refrigerator and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough to ⅛ inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. Cut shapes out with cookie cutters. Place cut out dough on a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment or Silpat. Leave ½ inch space in between cookies as they will expand slightly during cooking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes (cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on cracker size--start checking them after ten minutes), or until cookies are firm, but not hard to the touch. (Crackers will continue to harden as they cool). Remove from oven and move to cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
