Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until a firm ball is formed. Knead for 3 minutes, and cover the dough with plastic wrap or damp kitchen towel. Rest for another 20 minutes. Divide into 2 portions.

Prepare 2 baking sheets lined with either parchment paper or silicon mats. On a lightly oiled work surface, roll each piece of dough thinly into a rectangular shape, about 1/16-inch thick. Using a maple-leave shaped cookie cutter, cut the rolled dough into maple-leave crackers.
