GRAHAM COOKIES

Makes 24 cookies

Since our boys sometimes missed sandwiches, we thought it’d be fun to make a “cookie” that was similar to a graham cracker AND bread! We love filling these with sunflower seed butter, honey, and banana slices for delicious sandwiches. We also love topping them with apple butter and placing them next to our eggs for breakfast.

We feel like we’ve even improved on your plain old box of crackers with these thick, breadlike cookies. You can use a cookie cutter with them to make fun shapes, and you can even make a graham pie crust by pulsing half your cooked cookies with three tablespoons of melted coconut oil!
