Chocolate Sugar Wafers Recipes

Steps:

• Beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy, then gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and beat thoroughly. Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the mixture. Blend well. Remove dough from bowl onto a floured surface. With floured hands, shape into a log about 4 inches in diameter. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice cookie dough 1/8 inch thick and place flat 2 inches apart on ungreased cookies sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until centers are set. Remove from cookies sheets and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Combine butter, sugars and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed until light, about 5 minutes, scraping bowl and beaters occasionally. Beat in the egg whites, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition.
• While the mixture is beating, sift the cocoa with the flour and salt. Stop mixer, scrape down bowl and beaters and add dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Scrape the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of wrap and press the dough into a rough disk. Refrigerate the dough until it is firm -- several hours or overnight.
• About 20 minutes before you intend to bake the cookies, set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
• Divide the dough into 3 parts and roll one at a time on a lightly floured work surface into a 6-inch square. Cut the dough with a fluted or plain round cutter into nine 2-inch cookies and place them on the prepared pan. Continue with the remaining dough. After rolling all the dough, press the scraps back together and make about 9 more cookies. Pierce the cookies several times with a fork and sprinkle them lightly with granulated sugar.
• Bake the cookies about 20 minutes, until slightly puffed and firm. Cool the cookies on the pan.
• Serve with any creamy or plain dessert, or ice cream. They're also great by themselves. Storage suggestion: Keep the cookies between layers of waxed paper in an air-tight tin or plastic container

Steps:

• In a bowl, cream butter and sugars, add milk and egg.
• Mix well.
• Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl, and gradually add to the creamed mixture.
• Mix well.
• Cover and let chill until firm, or about two hours.
• Rolled chilled dough on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick.
• Cut with a 1 1/2 cookie cutter.
• Place 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 375° for 5- 6 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• Let cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375 degrees.
• In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
• Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
