How to Make Old Fashioned Vanilla Wafers
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar on low speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of orange zest.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a teaspoon, drop rounded portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each wafer.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Carefully transfer the wafers to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Once completely cool, store your Vanilla Wafers in an airtight container in layers to maintain their freshness.
