Ingredients

½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup all purpose flour
3 cups oat flour
2 Tablespoons wheat germ
¼ cup brown sugar firmly packed
⅓ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅔ teaspoon baking soda
10 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold
½ cup water
⅓ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F/190℃.
Line 2-3 sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, oat flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Grate butter into flour mixture.
Toss gently to coat.
Add water, honey, and vanilla.
Mix until dry ingredients are fully incorporated and dough is smooth.
Working with half the dough at a time, roll out into a rectangle that is ⅛" thick.
Use a 4 ½ inch x 3 inch cutter to cut out rectangles.
Place on prepared pan.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Use a fork to prick dough.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until light brown.

Notes

Substitutions:

If you don't have oat flour, you can grind rolled oats.
To make this recipe vegan, you can use your favorite vegan butter and agave syrup. It won't taste the same with agave, but it will be similar.

Expert Tips:

Be sure to a strong-flavored honey for this recipe!
Keep dough covered with a damp cloth when not using! It does tend to dry out rather quickly.
If dough ever gets too dry, you can work in a little more water.
Be careful to not over-work your dough!
When pricking, be sure to go all the way through the dough and hit the bottom pan with the fork.
