Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to ensure even mixing and remove any lumps.
In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Add egg whites one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until you achieve a smooth batter.
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in 3-inch long strips, leaving about half an inch of space between each strip to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the edges are firm and starting to brown.
Quickly and carefully, use a spatula to lift each wafer from the sheet and roll it around a thin, round utensil like a chopstick to form a roll. Allow to cool and set in this shape.
Continue the process until all batter is used, then cool the wafer rolls completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
