How to Make Homemade Vanilla Wafer Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
