Delicious Vanilla Wafers Recipe - Easy American Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Mix until just combined to avoid over-mixing.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.

    Start and end with dry ingredients.
  6. Scoop the Batter

    Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each scoop for spreading.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

    Check frequently to avoid over-baking.
  8. Cool

    Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Cooling on a wire rack ensures they stay crisp.
