Czech wafer things!

I have a friend who I can now only contact through Facebook, who emigrated here from the Czech Republic. Whenever he went home he'd bring back these awesome wafer things, that were plate-size, round, and filled with some sort of sugar. They were absolutely amazing.

I'm heading to Prague in a couple of weeks and would like to pick up about sixty gagababillion packs of the things, and while I've asked him what they were called he hasn't gotten back to me - and I have no idea if he will in time, it being Facebook. Does anyone else have even the remotest clue what I'm talking about?

If not, I plan to simply check the local shops for them, but if I had a name that would help immensely.

    Spa wafers
    Spa wafers have a characteristic shape – thin, round, and with various fillings. According to various sources, the classic spa wafers, sprinkled with hazel nuts, sugar and vanilla, have been made at the spas since 1788, though the tradition reaches as far back as the 16th century. Today you can still taste warm spa wafers with various types of filling.
    The origin of the spa wafer is apparently closely associated with Communion wafers. They are the same shape as today’s spa wafers and are made of the same unraised flour and water mixture. Spa wafers are even baked between two hot plates in the same way as Communion wafers.
    If you like the taste of spa wafers, as you stroll along the colonnade, you can buy some boxed and be reminded of the atmosphere of the spa in the comfort of your own home.

    I'm not sure about Czech cookies, but in my trips to the Netherlands, I've had something very similar sounding called Stroopwafels.

    They are delicious, see if that's what you're talking about.

    Spa wafers sound exactly right. Cheers.
