In a food processor or mixer combine the first 6 ingredients. (If using wheat germ or flax seed add here.)
Add cubed and chilled butter to the mix and pulse/mix until it resembles coarse meal.
Add honey, water and vanilla and continue to mix until it all combines.
Remove and shape the dough into a flat disk and place between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. (I found it easier to roll the dough w/o a sheet on top of the dough.)
Roll dough out until ¼ inch thick. Cut into crackers or shapes. Combine the dough scraps and roll out again to cut more shapes.
Place cookies on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes.
