What You’ll Need
- Wafer sheets – choose your favorite flavor
- Homemade or store-bought cookie dough
- A rolling pin
- Baking parchment paper
- A baking tray
- An oven
Step 1: Prepare your Cookie Dough
Begin by preparing your cookie dough according to your favorite recipe or using store-bought dough. Ensure that the dough is well chilled and ready to be rolled out.
Step 2: Roll out the Cookie Dough
Place a sheet of baking parchment paper on your working surface to prevent sticking. Take a portion of the cookie dough and roll it out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin. The thickness should be slightly less than that of the wafer sheets you are using.
Step 3: Apply the Wafer Sheets
Take your wafer sheets and carefully place them on top of the rolled-out cookie dough. Ensure that the wafer sheets cover the entire surface of the dough. Gently press down on the wafer sheets to secure them in place.
Step 4: Roll the Dough with Wafer Sheets
Using a rolling pin, gently roll over the dough with the wafer sheets to ensure they adhere well to the dough. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid breaking the delicate wafer sheets.
Step 5: Cut Out the Cookies
Take a cookie cutter of your preferred shape and cut out individual cookies from the rolled dough. Carefully transfer the cookies onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them for expansion.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature. Once the oven is ready, place the baking tray with the cookies inside and bake according to the cookie dough recipe’s instructions. Keep a close eye on the cookies to prevent burning.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Once the cookies are golden brown and baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, these delicious wafer sheet cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
