Wafer cookies – you know those types. The cookies that are thin and crisp and layer perfectly with ice cream for perfect little ice cream sandwiches or crumble up nicely over pudding. I didn’t realize this until I actually looked it up but July 3rd is National Chocolate Wafer Day. Probably the most famous ones are those flavored with a spot of mint and dipped in chocolate – Thin Mints Girl Scout cookies.<\/p>\n

I found a recipe that is reasonably similar to the famous ones with a wonderful buttery flavor that pairs great with the chocolate and mint. I found this cookie from Tish Boyle’s The Good Cookie<\/em>. It calls for mint extract but I always use peppermint oil, which to me gives it a greater punch of mint. It’s not a traditional wafer cookie as it doesn’t come from a drop cookie batter as most wafer cookies come from. Instead, these are rolled into logs and sliced thin right before baking. Another reason I like this recipe: they are super easy to make ahead and with a small disher you can make quick and easy mini ice cream sandwiches by the bucket load – perfect for a Fourth of July barbecue.<\/p>\n

For a chocolate wafer cookie that is dropped and no mint added, see the recipe Chocolate Fudge Wafer Cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, enjoy your 4th of July holiday and make a quick batch of these. I guarantee you’ll be out before you know it.<\/p>\n

This recipe is adapted from Tish Boyle's The Good Cookie. The original calls for mint extract but I use peppermint oil. Add in drop by drop how strong a mint flavor you'd like in your cookies.<\/span><\/div>\n
