Chocolate Wafers

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Melt the cake chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short microwave intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Cream together the Crisco and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and melted chocolate, mixing until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Drop small rounded teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the wafers are set but still slightly soft in the center.

Remove from the oven and allow the wafers to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
