Recipe: 00297 Title : Chocolate Wafers Author: Katie E Green Date : August 1995 _________________________________________________________________________ These are basically an ice-box cookie. It's the closest I have been able to come to the requested dark oreo-type wafer. If they are not dark enough, double up on the chocolate and compensate with a tablespoon more flour, as needed. These uncooked logs may be frozen. This one is from Crabtree & Evelyn. 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda pinch salt pinch fresh ground pepper 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1/4 cup firm packed light brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted in pan over simmering water Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper together. Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and beat until mixture is well blended. Bet in vanilla and chocolate. Add dry ingredients and mix at low speed or by hand until well blended. Form dough into 1 1/2 inches diameter log; wrap in waxed paper and chill for 3 hours to 2 days. Or store in freezer until needed. Preheat oven 375F. Slice dough 1/8 thick with sharp knife. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet and bake in center of oven for 7 to 9 minutes. Tops will show no fingertip prints when pressed gently. Cool on wire racks and store in air tight container. Makes 3 dozen. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _________________________________________________________________________
