Chocolatewavewafers Recipes

COCOA WAFERS

Steps:

• Beat 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and 1 stick butter until fluffy, then beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; stir into the butter mixture. Chill 30 minutes, then roll out to 1/8 inch thick; cut into 2-inch rounds. Bake 8 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

CRISP CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Steps:

• Combine butter, sugars and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed until light, about 5 minutes, scraping bowl and beaters occasionally. Beat in the egg whites, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition.
• While the mixture is beating, sift the cocoa with the flour and salt. Stop mixer, scrape down bowl and beaters and add dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Scrape the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of wrap and press the dough into a rough disk. Refrigerate the dough until it is firm -- several hours or overnight.
• About 20 minutes before you intend to bake the cookies, set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
• Divide the dough into 3 parts and roll one at a time on a lightly floured work surface into a 6-inch square. Cut the dough with a fluted or plain round cutter into nine 2-inch cookies and place them on the prepared pan. Continue with the remaining dough. After rolling all the dough, press the scraps back together and make about 9 more cookies. Pierce the cookies several times with a fork and sprinkle them lightly with granulated sugar.
• Bake the cookies about 20 minutes, until slightly puffed and firm. Cool the cookies on the pan.
• Serve with any creamy or plain dessert, or ice cream. They're also great by themselves. Storage suggestion: Keep the cookies between layers of waxed paper in an air-tight tin or plastic container

CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Steps:

• Place a 12-by-16-inch piece of parchment on a work surface. Spoon dough down center. Fold parchment over dough. Using a ruler, roll and press dough into a tight log. Wrap in parchment; chill at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Unwrap log, and slice into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Place rounds on baking sheets, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake wafers until firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer wafers to a wire rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
