How to Make Famous Chocolate Wafer Cookies Chocolate Snaps

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and beat until combined. Beat in 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to ⅛ inch thickness.
  8. Use a 2 ¼ inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Reroll scraps as needed.
  9. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about ½ inch between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 12-17 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  11. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. Enjoy!
