These graham cracker cookies are perfect for graham cracker lovers!
Ya, you read that right.
Say it with me… clean eating G.R.A.H.A.M. C.R.A.C.K.E.R.S!!! I could just squeak!
Why?
I can sum it up for you in one, wonderful word… S’MORES!!!
Like how I yelled at you through your computer screen? I know. I really need to calm down….and get a life. I really need a life. A social life.
I know!! I’ll make… S’MORES!!! (I’m bound to entice a few friends over with those, right?)
Oh, dear…
I know, I know. These are cookies, but so far, it’s as close as I’ve gotten to clean graham crackers. And gosh darn it, I want s’mores!
HOW TO MAKE GRAHAM CRACKER COOKIES
The trick to these delicious cookies is working quickly after they’ve been in the oven for the first half of the baking. Mixing the ingredients together is similar to making a pancake mix. You just stir stuff together to get your batter. But once they’ve done their first ten minutes in the oven, you’ll need to work quickly to take them out, get them cut and poke them with a fork for the traditional graham cracker holes we all recognize so well.
HOW TO SERVE THESE COOKIES
These can be served in so many ways! One of my favorites is to put a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top and then top that with fresh berries. But you can also crumble these over ice cream or make ice cream sandwiches. You can also find other fillings such as nut butter or Nutella and make a sandwich cookie. Get creative!
STORAGE: Make sure these are stored in an air-tight container and kept in the fridge. These will last a week or so, give or take. You can freeze these for up to 4 months.

Vanda
Hey Chef! Thanks! Hope you enjoy them!
OHHH…. If I could hug you right now but, for now I’ll virtual send you a hug ~… Craving these and you made them clean thank you(:
Dawn-Marie – Thanks for the hug! Needed one of those today! Enjoy!
Oh, these sound soooooooo good. Now I am totally craving a smore! I will have to try making these. I never really thought about it this way, but graham crackers are perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Maybe because they are kind of like gingerbread?
Roxan – Yes, they are! Let me know how you like them!
Hey, sounds yummy!! but I don’t have brown rice flour. will wheat flour work??
Linette – It might. This recipe is gluten free, so I’m not sure how it will react with gluten in it. But it’s worth a shot!
April – Hmmm. The batter should have just poured into the cookie pan. You shouldn’t have had to work so hard to spread it. It should have only required a little extra help. Did you make any changes to the recipe?
I didn’t have brown rice flour, but instead used Eagle Mills Naturday All Purpose unbleached, could that by why?
April – Yep! That would do it! All purpose flour works very different from whole grain flours.
Well that’s a bummer haha, glad you knew right away! So…is that flour “unclean”. I just bought a double pack at Costco before we started clean eating, darn it!
April – Afraid so. All purpose flour is white flour. If you use a lot of my recipes, find some whole wheat PASTRY flour. It’s the only stuff I cook with. It has a lower gluten content than regular whole wheat flour, but it also provides a softer, fluffier texture in finished food. You want 100% whole grain/meal/wheat.

Tiamaria – It’s possible. But they are very crumbly. I have a feeling it might just fall apart on you unless you mix it with something else to keep it together.
I have been looking at your blog all night!!! I am fascinated and inspired. I always have the desire to eat more clean, but I felt like it was so overwhelming. I love how you have made it very accessible, but even more, your writing style is very friendly and nonjudgmental.
Justine – thank you so much! What a nice comment!
Dana – You could try whole wheat pastry flour. I haven’t tried it myself, but it could work.
Dana – I do have a recipe for the goldfish I’ve been meaning to try. The vanilla wafers would be a bigger project. I’ll add it to my list though. 🙂
tchr450 – any lightly flavored oil will work. Enjoy!
Tracylea – Did you substitute anything or change anything in the recipe?
Tracy – Hmmm…. I can’t imagine that causing a problem for anything other than flavor. Are you at a high or low altitude? Maybe something got measured incorrectly? Sorry, just trying to figure it out…
I would love to have a substitute for a graham cracker pie crust. Any suggestions?
JennyD – You can make these and just crumble them. There are some on the market that are sweetened only with honey, but not sure what else is in them.
Glad they worked out!
Haha!! Great tip, thanks!
