Chocolate Wafer Cookies (Homemade)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (110 g) softened unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup premium wheat flour
• 3/4 cup dark cocoa powder (available at confectionery supply stores and online)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup milk

Preparation:

1. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until pale, about 2 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. If the cocoa powder is lumpy, sift the dry ingredients before adding them to the butter.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix. Add the milk and mix again.
4. Form the dough into two 4 cm thick sausages. Wrap tightly in cling film and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
5. Bakery: Preheat oven to 180°C and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Cut the dough sausage into 0.3 cm thick circles.
7. Place the dough circles on baking sheets, spacing them 4 cm apart. Bake for 8 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets 180 degrees. Bake for another 2 minutes, or until the cookies are dry and firm. You won't be able to check their color as they are very dark.
