The answer
WAFER
What wafer means
A thin, crisp cookie or cracker, often sweet and light, sometimes used as a base for ice cream or filled with cream.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English wafre, borrowed from Old French waufre, which came from Middle Dutch wafele or wafel. The Dutch word likely derives from Proto-Germanic *wab-, meaning "to weave," since wafers were traditionally made by pressing batter between two hot irons that created a woven pattern. The same root produced English "weave."
