Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder together, then gradually add them to the wet ingredients. Mix until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe thin, 2-inch-long lines onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the wafers in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are slightly crisp and the centers are set. Let the wafers cool completely on the parchment paper.
While the wafers are cooling, melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled wafers to create a wave pattern. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Once the chocolate is firm, carefully peel the wafers off the parchment paper. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
