Gluten Free Wafer Cookies -- simple, vegan, and tasty

There's something to be said for simple, crisp, delicate wafer cookies. These remind me a little of graham wafers, and super simple to whip up, and taste really good. I prefer to make my own concoction of gluten free flours -- I get control over the taste and texture that way, and this one is very pleasing to me. However, you are welcome to sub in equal quantity of your favourite gluten free flour blend if you prefer. These keep well in an airtight container on the counter, and are perfect with a cup of tea. Or smores ... bet they'd make great smores ...
