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:
- Beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy, then gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and beat thoroughly. Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the mixture. Blend well. Remove dough from bowl onto a floured surface. With floured hands, shape into a log about 4 inches in diameter. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice cookie dough 1/8 inch thick and place flat 2 inches apart on ungreased cookies sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until centers are set. Remove from cookies sheets and cool on a wire rack.
CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIE DESSERT (FAMOUS WAFERS COPYCAT)
I no longer can buy Nabisco Famous Wafers in my area. I searched and found these on the King Arthur website. Stack the cookies, sandwiched between the optional filling, in the refrigerator overnight and they turn into a delicious cake-like dessert. These cookies will also make a good pie crust (see Recipe #424844).

Steps:
- Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets, or more if you have them; you'll make 3 to 4 baking sheets' worth of cookies.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla, then the flour and cocoa.
- Cover the dough, and chill for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F
- Roll the dough about 1/8" thick; use cocoa instead of flour to dust your rolling board and the dough.
- Cut into 2 1/2"-round cookies. A biscuit cutter is handy for this.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Watch them closely at the end of the baking time, and if you start to smell chocolate before 10 minutes has gone by, take them out.
- When they're done, remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool completely.
- FILLING: Whisk together the heavy cream and other ingredients. When blended, whip until the cream holds a soft peak.
- ASSEMBLY: Place one cookie on a small plate. Put about a tablespoon of whipped cream on top; our teaspoon cookie scoop, heaped up, works well here.
- Top with a second cookie, using it to compress the whipped cream to about a 1/4"-thick layer.
- Repeat with 4 more cookies, finishing with a layer of whipped cream.
- Refrigerate from 4 to 24 hours before serving.
- OTHER FLAVORING OPTIONS: To flavor 1 cup of cream, add one of the following combinations: *2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar + 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract; *2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar + 1/8 teaspoon coconut flavor; *2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar + 1/8 teaspoon peppermint oil; *1 tablespoon granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon Dutch processed cocoa + 1 teaspoon espresso powder.

CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIES (LIKE NABISCO CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIES)
Remember the Ice Box Cake back in the 60's and 70's? The ones that used the Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies? Well, this is the recipe to use when you can't find the cookies in the store! It seems a lot of stores are not carrying them anymore, and if you want them, you have to order them at Amazon.com. This recipe is courtesy of Ahmed1 at CDKitchen, and he had very good results using this recipe. NOTE: The preparation time does NOT include the 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator to chill. Keep in mind that the cooking time is 7-8 minutes PER BATCH. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the chocolate in the top of a small double boiler, over hot water, on moderate heat. Cover until partially melted, then uncover and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter.
- Add the vanilla and sugar, and beat to mix well.
- Add the melted chocolate, and beat until incorporated. Then add the light cream or milk and the egg, and beat to mix well.
- On low speed add the sifted dry ingredients, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula, and beating only until incorporated.
- Place the dough on a piece of wax paper, fold the sides of the paper over the dough, and press down on the paper to flatten the dough to a scant 1" thickness.
- Wrap in the waxed paper and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes (no longer or the dough will crack when you roll it out). (However, if you do refrigerate it for longer (even overnight) let it stand at room temperature for about 1 hour before rolling it out.)
- Adjust two racks to divide oven into thirds, and preheat oven to 400.
- Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil.
- Flour a pastry cloth and place the dough on it. (If you have doubled the recipe, roll only half of the dough at a time.)
- With a floured rolling pin (which should be refloured frequently to avoid sticking), roll the dough out until it is only 1/8" thick (thin). I use a round cookie cutter that is 2 3/4" in diameter. Use any size you like, and cut the cookies as close to each other as possible.
- Place the cookies 1/2" apart on the aluminum foil. (It might be necessary to transfer the cookies from the pastry cloth to the foil with a wide metal spatula. Handle them carefully in order to keep them perfectly round and flat.
- Leftover pieces of the dough should be pressed together and rerolled.
- Bake 2 sheets at a time, for 7-8 minutes, reversing the sheets top to bottom, and front to back once, to insure even taking.
- Bake until the cookies feel almost firm to the touch.
- These are supposed to be crisp (they will become more crisp as they cool) and they should not be underbaked, but watch them carefully to be sure they do not burn. (If you bake one sheet at a time, bake it on the upper rack.)
- With a wide metal spatula, transfer the cookies to racks to cool.
- Store in airtight container.

Tips:
- Choose the right chocolate. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is best for this recipe. Avoid using milk chocolate or chocolate chips as they will not melt smoothly.
- Use unsalted butter. This will help to control the sodium content of the wafers.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate mixture. It should be melted and smooth, but not grainy or burnt.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Bake the wafers until they are set and firm, but not dry. They should be slightly soft in the center.
- Allow the wafers to cool completely before serving. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Chocolate wafers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes. By using sugar-free chocolate and other healthy ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both satisfying and good for you. These wafers are perfect for a special occasion or a simple snack. They can also be used to make other desserts, such as parfaits and ice cream sandwiches. Be sure to experiment with different flavors and toppings to find your favorite way to enjoy chocolate wafers.
