CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIE DESSERT (FAMOUS WAFERS COPYCAT)



Chocolate Wafer Cookie Dessert (Famous Wafers Copycat) image

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).

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 42 cookies, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup black cocoa
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 cups whipping cream or 2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon espresso powder

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.

ALICE MEDRICH'S REAL CHOCOLATE WAFERS

These cookies are wonderful on their own; make great bases for mini-cheesecakes and are perfect crumbled for crumb crusts or for the cookie crumbs on the sides of a cheesecake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 40-45 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder, plus
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (natural or Dutch process)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed

  • In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy; add the sugars and vanilla and beat on high speed for about one minute.
  • Beat in the milk.
  • On low speed, beat in the flour mixture, just until incorporated.
  • Gather the dough together with your hands and form it into a neat 9 to 10 inch log.
  • Wrap it in wax paper, folding or twisting the ends of the paper without pinching or flattening the roll (you may find it easier to improve the shape of your roll after it has chilled a bit).
  • Chill for at least 45 minutes or until needed (The dough can be refrigerated for up to three days and frozen for up to three months).
  • Place your oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and pre-heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice rounds of the chilled dough a scant 1/4 inch thick. Place them one inch apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake ten to twelve minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
  • The cookies will puff and crackle on top, then settle down slightly when done.
  • Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Store in an air-tight container for up to two weeks, or freeze up to two months.

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
20 Famous chocolate wafers
chocolate curls (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Whip the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla until stiff.
  • Set aside 1 cup of mixture.
  • Spread wafers with remaining cream and arrange in stacks of five.
  • Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Lay stacks on edge to make one long roll.
  • Spread remaining 1 cup of cream on outside of roll.
  • Cover and chill for at least four hours or overnight.
  • Garnish with chocolate curls or shavings before serving.
  • To serve, cut DIAGONALLY.
  • Note- To make chocolate curls you can slightly warm a large candy bar of good quality chocolate in the microwave (only a few seconds should do) Slowly scrape back of bar with a vegetable peeler and transfer curls using a toothpick, to a baking sheet or large plate/ Refrigerate until firm/ For shavings, I like to thinly slice miniature Dove Dark Chocolate candies (about eight or so) and sprinkle on your dessert.

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!

Categories     Dessert

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao.
  • Make sure the butter is cold. This will help the cookies to keep their shape in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop.

Chocolate wafer cookies, also known as chocolate snaps, are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be sure to please everyone.
