Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour  
• 1 tsp. baking powder  
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup shortening  
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed  
• 1 tsp. vanilla  
• 6 Tbsp. milk  

Method

Mix together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cream shortening, sugar and vanilla until fluffy; add flour mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until combined after each addition. Cover and chill dough till firm, several hours or overnight. Divide dough into thirds. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to slightly larger than 12x5 inches, 1/8 inch thick. Trim edges to make a 12x5-inch rectangle. Use a knife to cut into 5x2-inch rectangles. Score a crosswise-like center into each rectangle. Place on greased baking sheets; pierce each several times with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp. Remove from sheet & cool on wire rack.

Notes: These are a good treat for the kids or yourself. I like to dip them in milk.

Number of servings: 10
