Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

Step 2

Cream together shortening and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in vanilla. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed mixture alternately with milk. Cover and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.

Step 3

Roll chilled dough out to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 48 rectangles. Place 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove crackers from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.
