Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk melted butter, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in sourdough discard until smooth.
3. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients and mix into a soft dough.
4. Optional: wrap dough and chill for 30 minutes for easier rolling.
5. Divide dough in half. Roll each between parchment sheets to 1/8 inch thickness.
6. Trim edges and cut into 2×2 inch squares. Prick each with a fork and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
7. Bake 14–18 minutes until edges are golden brown, rotating pans halfway through.
8. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and crisp up.
9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
