These homemade vanilla wafer cookies are a delightful treat that surpasses store-bought versions. Crispy, buttery, and infused with vanilla, they're perfect for snacking or adding to desserts.
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the milk until the dough comes together.
Step 5
Using a teaspoon, scoop small amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
