Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. This should take about 1 minute.
Add the vanilla extract and granulated sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until the mixture forms soft peaks.
Gradually fold in the flour mixture into the egg white mixture, alternating with the non-fat milk. Mix gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly runny.
Lightly spray the parchment paper with canola oil spray to prevent the wafer rolls from sticking.
Using a spoon, drop a tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin circle, about 8 cm in diameter.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, leaving space between each circle to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and while still warm and pliable, gently roll each wafer into a cylinder shape. Be careful as they will be hot.
Allow the rolled wafers to cool completely on a wire rack where they will harden and become crispy.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
