Dipping these little beauties brought back all sorts of memories. Â When I was a little girl, my neighbor always kept a tin of the wafer cookies at her house. Â My little brother and I would brave her big red, very “waggy” dog (which terrified me), to get a cookie. Â You don’t need to brave any dogs to have this delightful treat though.
Wafer cookies are a big win for anyone watching potassium, phosphorus, and sodium. Â They have ZERO phosphate additives (at least the labels I checked) and very little sodium per serving. Â I couldn’t find the regular cookies, so these happened to be sugar-free. Â Regular cookies happen to have 20mg sodium less per serving (which is not a lot). Â But you could use either one. Â Just remember that sugar alcohols (found it almost all sugar-free products these days) cause bloating and diarrhea if eaten in excess.
We dipped these little beauties in Almond Bark, not white chocolate. Â White almond bark never tastes as creamy as real white chocolate. Â However, it makes a great substitute for recipes like this. Â You can check out the comparison here when we made Peppermint Bark Popcorn.

There is nothing surprising about these cookies. They are very simple, but attractive. Â There isn’t any mind-blowing taste here, but we think they are so darn cute we didn’t care. If you like treats, you’ll like these. Â Make a couple for a friend or your child or your grandma. Â Easy and so fun!
