Their delicate nature makes them easy to break or crush for various culinary applications. They are a convenient way to add a sweet, crunchy element to any dessert.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to cookies, these wafers have a much lighter and airier texture due to their thin, layered structure. The creme filling is typically less dense than the frosting or ganache found in many cookies. Their crispness is a defining characteristic, offering a different mouthfeel than a chewy or cake-like cookie.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining wafers in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to moisture or humidity, as this can cause them to become soft and lose their desirable crunch. Keep the container sealed when not in use.
