Santa Fe Chocolate Wafers Recipes

SANTA FE CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cut butter into ½-inch slices, and add to medium saucepan over low heat.
• Add the chocolate, sugar, and corn syrup, stirring until smooth.
• Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes; add vanilla extract and egg, stirring until smooth.
• Gently add in flour mixture, until once again smooth.
• You can go ahead and bake them off right here, but I prefer to refrigerate the mixture for 20 or so minutes; the cookies will hold their shapes better.
• Drop a rounded teaspoonful of batter onto a silpat or parchment paper-covered baking sheet, pressing down slightly to flatten.
• The cookies puff up as they bake, and will be finished when they have flattened, about 10-15 minutes.
• I like to under bake these just a bit, but be careful about over baking--the chocolate will taste burnt.
• Let the cookies sit for a minute on the sheets before removing to a cooling tray.
• Store airtight.

CHOCOLATE WAFERS

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.

ALICE MEDRICH'S REAL CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• 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.
