     1 tb Brown sugar
   1/2 ts Baking powder

 dough into 1-1/2" squares, triangles or diamond shapes. Or, using a
 1-1/2" round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place
 crackers, 1/4 inch apart onto prepared baking pan sheet using tines
 of a fork prick crackers well. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until

 baking sheets and cool on wire racks. Store in an air-tight
