How to Make Vanilla Cream Wafers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups cake flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Watch carefully as ovens vary.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
