Graham Crackers:

2 cups unbleached white flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup honey

Sift together the flours, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar. Add the honey and mix until blended. Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing until combined before adding the second batch. Mold the dough into 2 balls, wrap in plastic, flatten and chill for at least an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out half the dough on a piece of parchment paper to a large square, 1/8-inch thick. Cut the sheet of dough into 3- by 3-inch squares, leaving them as is on the parchment; trim any excess dough from the edges. Transfer this sheet of dough to a baking sheet, using the parchment paper to lift it. Repeat with the remaining dough. Chill for 30 minutes. Bake until golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool, then break into precut squares.
