Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Imagine it getting all warm and toasty, ready to hug your delicious creation.
In a bowl, gather the whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, and paprika. Whisk them together with a playful flourish, like a conductor leading a symphony of flavors.
Add melted vegan butter or coconut oil, a smooth and buttery friend, to the party. Water and vanilla extract join the mix, creating a doughy tango of goodness.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, like a welcoming stage. Roll it out thin, aiming for about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness. Imagine tiny crackers waiting to be born!
Use a knife or a cookie cutter to transform the dough into playful squares or your favorite shapes. Let your creativity shine!
Carefully transfer your cracker masterpieces to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. They can cuddle close, they won't spread much! Prick each one with a fork, like tiny smiles for the oven.
Bake in the warm embrace of the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them, they'll change from sunshine to toasty quickly!
