Vanilla Wafer Cookies That Are Better Than Storebought Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.

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

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

Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
