Heya all,

I was just perusing the food blogs I read, and came across this. Turns
out, that several food bloggers are doing a 12 days of Cookies baking
extravaganza...and they are making cookies from this article from
Gourmet:
http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/cookies

To see the years of cookies, click on Skip the Intro.

Well.I was perusing the cookies, trying to get ideas for cookies to
make if I go to this cookie exchange, and what did I come across? This
recipe from the year 1950:
http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/1950s...ocolate-wafers

I know several of you have been asking about chocolate wafers, and at
least from the picture, they look just like the Nabisco chocolate
wafers.

Lots of great cookies there, and I am only on the 2nd decade of
cookies!!

Thank you! I'm not sure what "breakfast cocoa" is, but since it uses
baking powder instead of soda, I'm gonna try it with dutch cocoa.
(Regular cocoa is acid. Dutch cocoa is alkaline and much darker in color)

Let me know how they turn out. I might try to make them as well, as I
get tired of trying to find the Nabisco ones, and then paying a hefty
price for them.

Lots of great looking cookies in that article...I have my eyes on
several of them.

Wouldn't "breakfast cocoa" be the all in one that you just add water
to?
