Simple Chocolate Cookie Thins
My vegan chocolate wafer cookies are what I make when I want a comfort snack to sit alongside a coffee. I used these cookies for my Argentinian chocotorta recipe and they didn't disappoint. They're really easy to make and the great things is that you can make a large quantity in a fairly short amount of time.

Expert Tips
Use High Quality Cocoa Powder
This will really enhance the chocolatey flavour as opposed to using a cheap variety. You won't regret it. By making this simple change, these cookies end up tasting even better than store bought chocolate biscuits.
Make These Cookies In Advance
You can make the cookie dough in advance. Place it into a large airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Storage & Freezing
After baking your chocolate wafer cookies, you can store them at room temperature for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months (both options inside an airtight container).

Ingredients
For the chocolate cookies:
- 275g all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 35g cocoa powder (sifted)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 150g granulated sugar
