    In witchcraft, you always have to be aware of unintended consequences. When we set intentions and cast spells, it's good to consider how our energy might affect those around us. But even with our most conscious consideration, there are always ripple effects we can never quite predict. Sometimes their positive, sometimes not. We try our best, but we can't see all things.

    Sometimes our choices in the kitchen can have unintended consequences as well. I love a storebought chocolate wafer cookie as much as the next girl. I used to eat an obscene amount of Double Stuf Oreos as a child. Later, though, I learned more about the environmental impact of palm oil, and processed food suddenly became less attractive. I'm not saying I never ever buy things with palm oil in them anymore. It's practically impossible not to. But I do try to be more conscientious when there are better alternatives.

    What makes Chocolate Wafer Cookies so awesome?

    The more we cook and bake from scratch, the less we contribute to palm oil production, and that's just one tiny thing that makes these Chocolate Wafer Cookies so awesome. They also happen to be freaking delicious. There are so many things you could do with them, but honestly, we just scarfed them down one crunchy bite after another because they're sort of irresistible.

    If you wanted to create a creamy filling or use a bit of leftover frosting from a layer cake, you could make these into sandwich cookies. You could also crush them up and use them for a cookie crumb crust in a delicious no-bake pie. These would be especially awesome in this Cookies and Cream Fridge Cake. Of course, all of this assumes you can stop yourself from eating them first.

    Magical Properties of Sugar

    Sugar does more than just make things sweet in baking. But beyond its physical properties, it brings its metaphysical magic into our lives as well. It's main power is attraction, and it can be added to any spell to sweeten the deal and draw energy in. One Brazilian spell incorporates sugar cane for cleansing. Grind together bamboo leaves and sugar cane in a mortar and pestle. Then burn this blend as a loose incense to cleanse your space of negative energy.

    Tips for making Chocolate Wafer Cookies

    This dough does require chilling, which means you can't make them last minute. On the other hand, you can make the dough a day ahead and just let it hang out in the fridge until you're ready to bake

    We're creaming together butter and two kinds of sugar until fluffy, then beating in egg whites only. In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, then add this to your dough, mixing on the lowest speed, until it all comes together in one stiff dough.

    You'll turn your dough out onto some plastic wrap or a wax wrap and form it into a cylindrical log about 20 centimeters long. Then stash that in the fridge for at least an hour.

    Once your dough is chilled, all that's left to do is slice and bake. We're aiming for about a quarter-inch thick. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake until crunchy, about 12 minutes. Leave them on the cookie sheet to continue cooking for about 10 minutes before cooling on a wire rack.

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 100 grams butter, softened
    • 150 grams sugar
    • 100 grams brown sugar
    • 1 egg white
    • 50 grams cocoa powder
    • 150 grams all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

    Instructions

    1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and both sugars at medium speed for a few minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg white and beat to combine.
    2. Sift cocoa powder, flour,baking soda, and salt over your butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until everything comes together. The dough will be very stiff.
