For the Wafers

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder For chocolate flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda For leavening
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt To enhance flavor
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened For texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well-combined.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet, then press them flat with a fork.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly firm.
  2. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Cream Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assembly
  1. Spread a generous amount of cream filling on one wafer and top with another. Repeat until all are filled.
  2. Stack them high for a mini chocolate tower!

Notes

Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt to the cream for a sweet and salty combo! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
