Graham Stars
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat graham flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add brown sugar and honey, beating well. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
- Combine flours, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until blended. Divide dough into four portions; shape each portion into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill dough at least 1 hour.
- Working with one portion of dough at a time, roll dough to 1/8" thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with a 3" star-shaped cookie cutter. Place cutouts on lightly greased cookie sheets. Using a plastic drinking straw, make a hole in center of each star, and twist the straw to remove tiny piece of dough.
- Bake at 375u0b0 for 8 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool slightly on cookie sheets; remove to wire racks, and cool completely. Repeat procedure with remaining portions of dough.
- Combine powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large zip-top bag; seal and toss to combine. Add cookies to bag, about 5 at a time, and shake gently to coat. Remove coated cookies from bag, and repeat procedure with remaining cookies. String cookies onto raffia or ribbon, if desired.
