1 cupful of sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoonful of vanilla

1/4 cupful of butter

4 ounces of grated chocolate

2 cupfuls of pastry flour

1/2 teaspoonful of soda

Beat the butter to a cream; add gradually the sugar, and beat until light; add the eggs beaten and the chocolate grated. Dissolve the soda in a tablespoonful of warm water, add it to the mixture, then add the vanilla and flour. Whole wheat or graham flour may be substituted for pastry flour. The dough must be sufficiently stiff to roll as thin as a "wafer"; cut in squares and bake in a moderate oven until crisp-about ten minutes.

These are very nice with cocoa or chocolate for afternoon teas.
