Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
- Scoop small portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon for a more traditional wafer shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice note.
- Dip half the wafers in melted chocolate for a decadent treat.
- Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a nutty twist.
- For extra crispness, bake an additional 2-3 minutes.
