2. Prepare the Cookie Wafers:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, 1/3 cup of Crisco shortening, icing sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.

3. Shape and Bake:

   • Use the bottom of a glass to gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it into a cookie shape.
   • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 4-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crunchy.

5. Cooling:
