How to Make Vanilla Wafer Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers will remain pale and chewy.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
