Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles. Place 1/2 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp. Edges will be golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

Gather the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, honey, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. The dough will be fairly stiff, but additional milk can be added if necessary to form a soft but not sticky dough. Knead the dough until smooth. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, at least one hour. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300 F. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough to 1/16 inch thickness onto a piece of parchment paper. Transfer on the parchment paper to a baking sheet. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Bake the sheets of dough for 10 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and, using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, immediately score the sheets of dough into 3x2-inch rectangles. Prick with a fork and return to the oven and continue to bake for 18 to 20 minutes longer. Remove the sheets from the oven and cut the rectangles all the way through. Allow to cool to room temperature directly on the baking sheets. This will help them become as crisp as possible. The trimmings can be ground into graham cracker crumbs. Enjoy as you would your favorite store-bought graham crackers.

Place both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the molasses, milk and vanilla extract and process until the dough forms a ball, approximately 1 minute. Press the ball into a 1/2-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap the chilled dough and place it onto a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it is 1/8-inch thick. Slide the rolled dough and parchment paper onto a half sheet pan. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough, using a rolling pizza cutter into 2-inch square pieces, by making vertical and then horizontal cuts all the way across the dough. Trim off any excess. Using a fork, poke holes all over the top of the dough. Leave the crackers on the pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until the edges just start to darken. Remove from the oven, set the sheet pan with the crackers on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once completely cool, break into individual crackers and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Roll between two sheets of parchment to a 1/8-to-1/4-inch thickness. Remove top piece of parchment paper and place dough on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut dough into 2 1/4-inch squares and prick dough with a fork to create dotted lines. Transfer to two parchment-lined baking sheets and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Bake graham crackers until golden brown, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool completely.

Combine flours, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Work in the butter and shortening with your fingers until the mixture has the consistency of coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, mix the honey, molasses, water and vanilla. Sprinkle this mixture over the dry ingredients and toss with a fork until well blended. Form the dough into a ball. Cover and chill for several hours. Cut the dough in half and let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature. Sprinkle a piece of wax paper with whole wheat flour. Roll out one of the dough pieces flat to about 7 x 15 inches. If the dough cracks or breaks, just pinch the edges back together. Poke a fork into the dough at 1/2-1" intervals. Then cut into 2 1/2" squares. Use a spatula to move the squares to a large, ungreased baking sheet. You can place them close together. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes at 350 deg F or until lightly browned on the edges. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk flours, wheat germ, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside. Put butter, brown sugar, and honey into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture, and mix until combined. Turn out dough onto a floured surface, and divide into quarters. Roll out each piece between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper into rectangles a bit larger than 9 by 6 inches, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a fluted pastry wheel, trim the outermost edges of each rectangle, and divide into three 6-by-3-inch rectangles. Pressing lightly, so as not to cut all the way through, score each piece in half lengthwise and crosswise, to form four 3-by-1 1/2-inch crackers. Stack parchment and dough on a baking sheet and chill in freezer until firm, about 20 minutes. Remove two sheets of dough from freezer. Pierce crackers using the tines of a fork. Transfer to large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake, rotating halfway through, until dark golden brown, 8 to 9 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Let cool on sheet 5 minutes; transfer crackers to wire racks to cool completely.
