YUM! YES! YUM!
I used bread flour in this recipe...it helps keep cookies fresher/softer longer.
I'd had a week of not-so-great recipe turnouts, so I was EXTRA! happy when these turned out to be delish.
They taste much like a store-purchased vanilla wafer, but these are just a bit softer. A little crunchy on the outside..chewy center.
And they really spread out. So be sure you place them about 2" apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Very easy recipe...I enjoyed them right away topped with some nutella (one of my daughter's favorite ways to enjoy nutella)...yes, I had to take a photo and send it to her phone right away...she said she drooled all over the phone.
My plan worked perfectly!!! ;-}
I always recommend using REAL vanilla extract, especially for recipes like this one. And don't be afraid to add the whole Tb....you need it.
HOMEMADE VANILLA WAFER COOKIES
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 Tb. vanilla extract
1- 1/3 c. all-purpose (or bread) flour
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350*. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Roll into balls, using a heaping teaspoon per cookie. Place the balls 2" apart on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes or just until the edges are golden brown**(see tip below). Remove to wire racks to cool.
Yield: about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
TIP: I found they were still pretty soft when I removed them from the oven after about 12 minutes, but they get harder as they cool, so be careful not to overbake.
