CRISPY AND CRUNCHY CHOCOLATE WAFERS



Crispy and Crunchy Chocolate Wafers image

These are delicious as ice cream sandwiches made with my "Mama's Cheery Cherry Ice Cream." Although I make this recipe often, this is not my recipe (or picture). I got this recipe from Joyofbaking.com some time back; I only made a few changes. This is a reduced fat recipe (still tastes rich) using only butter, sugar, an...

Categories     Cookies

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 Tbsp margarine
2/3 c light brown sugar, packed
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (not flavoring)
1 large egg white

Steps:

  • 1. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat butter and margarine with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the light brown sugar, the granulated sugars and the Vanilla extract; and beat on high for about one minute.
  • 3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • 4. Beat in the egg white. Add the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated.
  • 5. Place the dough on a pastry board and, using your hands, evenly form the dough into a log shape that is about 9 inches long. Carefully wrap the dough in aluminum foil, parchment paper or wax paper and fold or twist the ends. Try not to flatten the log. Refrigerate until firm. This will take several hours or you can even chill it overnight. **SEE NOTE, BELOW.
  • 6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into about 1/4 inch thick wafers. Place the wafers on the baking sheet spacing, about 1 inch apart.
  • 7. Bake for approximately 10 - 12 minutes or until the cookies puff and the tops of the cookies have cracks (ripples). Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 8. Can be stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, for about 10 days. They can also be frozen. I hope that you enjoy these wonderful cookies/wafers as much as I do -Yummy!!
  • 9. **NOTE: Sometimes I don't think about making these cookies long enough ahead to allow for the dough to get chilled enough to slice. Or I just don't want to take the time to roll the dough into a roll and refrigerate it until it is stiff enough to slice into wafers. If you don't want to wait until the roll of dough has time to chill long enough (It will be a sticky mess if you don't allow it to chill at least a few hours -preferably even overnight)-you can flatten the dough out some (will be very sticky) and refrigerate 30 minutes to an hour -then pinch off some of the dough and roll into a ball; repeat making balls (The size depends on the size cookie you want -I usually roll them about an inch each.). Then, put the cookie balls onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Take a fork and dip it into granulated sugar and flatten the dough balls. Then bake as instructed, above.

CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIES (LIKE NABISCO CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIES)



Chocolate Wafer Cookies (Like Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies) image

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!

Time 37m

Yield 36 2 3/4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (2 squares)
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted PLUS
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
2 ounces sweet butter (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons light cream or 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
1 egg (graded large)

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.

CHOCOLATE WAFERS



Chocolate Wafers image

You can freeze any leftover dough to use later, but you may not be able to resist making the whole batch of these chocolatey wafers.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 1

Chocolate Espresso Dough, room temperature

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 quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your wafers. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao content and has a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Temper the chocolate properly. Tempering the chocolate is a crucial step that helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from seizing. This will result in wafers that are smooth and shiny.
  • Use a silicone baking mat. A silicone baking mat will help to prevent the wafers from sticking to the pan. You can also use parchment paper, but it is more likely to wrinkle and tear.
  • Be patient. It takes time for the wafers to set. Don't be tempted to rush the process or you will end up with soft, gooey wafers.
  • Store the wafers in an airtight container. The wafers will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Chocolate wafers are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used as an ingredient in other desserts. They are easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients. With a little practice, you can create perfect chocolate wafers every time.
