LIGHT AND CRISP VANILLA WAFERS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift the cake flour onto a sheet of parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine the whole egg, egg white, sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract and water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until lightened in color and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the butter and oil. Increase the speed to high and beat for 30 seconds.
• Turn off the machine and add all of the flour. Mix on low speed. Stop to scrape the bowl and whisk. Mix on low speed until the batter is smooth and thick.
• Transfer the batter to an 18-inch (or larger) pastry bag fitted with a coupler and 1/2-inch round tip. Alternatively, use a gallon-size resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off to make a 1/2-inch opening.
• Pipe 5 quarter-size mounds of batter in 8 rows on each of the prepared baking sheets. You should have 80 mounds total. Pipe any extra batter into the empty spaces.
• Bake, rotating and switching the positions of the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges of the wafers turn a deep golden brown, 14 to 15 minutes total.
• Let the wafers cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp as they cool.

PEANUT BUTTER WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine all ingredients and knead by hand. Roll into 3/4-inch patty. Cut out wafers with a small round cutter. Or you can form small balls and flatten by hand.
• Bake for approximately 45 to 50 minutes or until brown on a baking sheet sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Cool on a rack. Store in a sealed container. For an extra treat, dip cookies in skim milk and feed to dog.
• In a double boiler melt carob chips and oil together until smooth. After dipping wafers garnish with chopped coconut or chopped peanuts.

ANNA'S WALNUT-RUM WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in the lower and middle positions. Finely chop 1 1/2 cups walnut pieces.
• Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and rum. Stir in flour and salt, scraping down sides of bowl. Mix in chopped walnuts.
• Drop dough (about 2 teaspoons per cookie) onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 3 inches apart. Bake for 4 minutes; remove from oven, and top with remaining 3/4 cup walnut pieces. Rotate sheets, and return to oven. Bake until golden brown around edges, 8 minutes more. Transfer cookies on parchment to wire racks. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
