Our brand new oven with a 6 burner range! That's right, I said 6 burners! First things first, I'm going to attempt for the second time this recipe that I found online.

_______________________________________
There is some claim that it's an original recipe from Nabisco for Chocolate Snaps. ....It's not. The first time I made these, they came out too soft and chewy and they seriously lacked the chocolatey flavor that I have been craving since Nabisco stopped making these cookies in the late 90's.
I would ask for these cookies if I had a last meal request. Seriously.
I know that the taste of these cookies are very similar to another cookie that Nabisco still makes called "Famous Wafers" and the list of ingredients is pretty much the same...But there's a difference in texture, thickness and crunch. I am going to try to re capture all of these necessary elements by modifying this recipe.. Wish me luck and stay tuned!
