steps
make the star graham cracker dough: in a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, a dash of cinnamon, & 3/4 tsp kosher salt together
in a separate small bowl/cup, whisk 2 tbsps honey, 1 tbsp milk, & 1 tsp vanilla extract together. set aside
add cold butter cubes into dry ingredients from step 1, then smoosh butter cubes and rub flour into butter cubes with your fingers until butter cubes are very small and butter is well combine with flour
add in wet ingredients from step 2, then combine with a spatula until a soft dough forms
roughly divide graham cracker dough into half, about 200g each, and form into a rough disk. wrap each graham cracker dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight in the fridge
on a slightly floured parchment paper (use whole-wheat flour), place graham cracker dough and sprinkle some whole-wheat flour on top of graham cracker dough. place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out graham cracker dough, about 1/4”-1/8” thick. transfer parchment paper to a large baking sheet and chill for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. repeat with other graham cracker dough
once thoroughly chilled, using a large star cookie cutter, cut out as many stars as possible from graham cracker dough - i was able to make about 12 stars, i combined excess dough a couple of times to create more stars
place stars on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. freeze for another 30 minutes before baking
preheat oven to 350f
bake for 10 minutes, then rotate baking sheet inside oven and bake for another 8 minutes until stars are deep golden brown
once baked, let star graham crackers sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes. then transfer star graham crackers to a wire rack and let cool completely
assemble the star s’mores: toast marshmallow with your preferred method - i put a marshmallow on a skewer and toasted it on my gas stovetop fire. you can use the oven or microwave (place chocolate & marshmallow on top of star graham cracker, then microwave for a couple seconds)
place a star graham cracker on a plate. then place a generous size of milk chocolate (i used half a milk chocolate bar). then place toasted marshmallow. top with another star graham cracker, press gently
enjoy!
