Easiest Ever Old-Fashioned Graham Cracker Cookies

Image
These Graham Cracker Cookies are a simple, yummy, and quick dessert: Just spread rich chocolate buttercream between store-bought graham crackers. I figured these graham cracker cookies were the brainchild of my mom, whenever she happened to have leftovers from frosting a cake. Then she told me her mom made them too–and when she packed them in my mom’s lunch, she was embarrassed because the other girls had store-bought cookies, (still, she secretly loved them).

The blade itself may also be thinner with more expensive knives for greater precision. Also, there’s an ergonomic difference. “I notice a big difference in the fit and feel of the handle.” Whatever your price point, Mychael recommends shopping with a trusted brand, reading reviews, and looking for forged knives.
