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

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will be the most important flavor in these wafers, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure your butter and cream are cold: This will help the wafers to stay crispy. If your butter is too warm, it will make the wafers greasy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the wafers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Be careful when baking the wafers: They can burn easily, so keep an eye on them while they're in the oven.
- Let the wafers cool completely before storing them: This will help them to stay crispy.
