Spice Crackers

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 6 tablespoons ice-cold water, or as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Mix flour, wheat germ, sugar, ginger, mustard, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.

Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the crumbles are the size of small peas. Slowly add water to dough and stir with a fork until the mixture comes together to form a ball.

Turn the dough ball onto a lightly floured surface and roll to about 1/4-inch thick; cut into small circles using a circular cookie cutter or a small, round glass. Put circles onto a baking sheet with 2 inches between.

Bake in the oven or until nicely browned, about 10 minutes.
