To stand on somebody's shoulders

When cooking a dish that I haven't done before there are several ways to go. I read original recipes, I compare them to modern ones for proportions and measures and I cook recipes redacted by others.

Today I'm going to try a couple of cookie recipes. Sweet and pretty isn't what I do best, so I'll work with other peoples recipes. I hope that if they have published it, it's probably a working recipe. Especially if there are pictures.

Today I'm trying these:

I haven't made wafers since I moved in with Nattfari, and only twice before that. First time went fine, second was horrible so there is also the element of trying the wafer iron on this particular stove. If things work out I will make cookies for Nordmark University.
