    Homemade Chocolate Wafer Cookies


    Homemade chocolate wafer cookies are THE best cookies
    for chocolate pie and cheesecake crusts, sandwich
    cookies, and icebox cakes. Ditch the store-bought, hard-
    to-find version and EASILY make your own!

    ACTIVE PREP TIME DOUGH CHILLING TIME


    30 minutes 2 hours
    BAKE TIME TOTAL TIME
    12 minutes 2 hours 42 minutes

    Ingredients
    1 ½ cups (6.75 ounces) all-purpose flour
    ¾ cup (2.4 ounces) dark unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
    ¼ tsp salt
    ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    14 tbsp (1 ¾ sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
    3 tbsp whole milk
    1 tsp pure vanilla extract

    Instructions
    1. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, add the flour, cocoa
    powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Pulse the ingredients a few times to combine
    thoroughly. Dollop the butter around the dry ingredients and pulse a few more times
    until the butter starts to incorporate and large chunks begin to form. Mix the milk
    and vanilla together in a small bowl. With the mixer running, pour the milk mixture
    into the feeding tube in a slow and even stream until the cookie crumb mixture starts
    to form together and ball up on the sides of the bowl.
    2. Transfer the cookie dough to a work surface and knead it a couple of times to fully
    incorporate all of the ingredients. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a
    long and narrow log, about 1 ¼ inches to 1 ¾ inches in diameter. Depending on how
    large you want your wafer cookies to be will determine how thick to form the log.
    Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to a week.
    3. Position the oven racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat oven to
    350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    4. Slice the dough logs into approximately ⅛-inch thick slices and lay the dough rounds
    on the baking sheets about 1 inch apart. I formed my dough into 1 ¼-inch diameter
    logs and was able to fit 24 cookies on each of my baking sheets.
    5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating pans from back to front and top to bottom halfway
    through the baking time. The cookies will be finished baking about 1 ½ minutes after
    the puffed-up dough deflates so try to keep an eye on them. Cool the cookies on the
    baking sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes then transfer the cookies to the racks to
    cool completely – they will crisp up as they cool.

    Storage: The cookies will keep for up to a week at room temperature if kept in an airtight
    container. Supposedly they freeze really well too but I haven’t tried it myself.

    Notes
    If you plan to use these cookies in place of store-bought chocolate wafer cookies for a
    chocolate cheesecake or pie crust, cut out 1 to 2 tablespoons of the suggested amount of
    melted butter in the crust recipe. These chocolate wafer cookies contain a fair amount of
    butter and too much added butter in the ground up cookies crumbs will yield an
    absurdly wet mass of crumbs. Trust me.

    Nine ounces of these cookies (or about ⅔ of the recipe) will yield as much as 1 package of
    store-bought wafer cookies contain.
