Recipe: Homemade Vanilla Wafers

Image
 I was craving vanilla wafers the other day. They do have something quite similar in Germany (called Eierplätzchen), but I wanted to make my own. Vanilla Wafers: 1/2 cup (125g) butter 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar 3 egg whites + 1 whole egg 1 1/3 cups (170g) flour 2 tsp vanilla extract or 2 tbsp vanilla sugar pinch of salt Cream butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Briefly combine flour, vanilla and salt. Do not overbeat with the flour.  The dough will be quite thin. Place in a piping bag with a round tip or no tip.  Pipe small cookies shapes onto a lined baking sheet leaving lots of space between them.  Bake at 350°F or 180°C for about 6-8 minutes or until cookies begin to brown.
