Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step sets the stage for the tremendous baking experience about to unfold.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This process is crucial as it helps incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter texture for your wafers. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for efficiency.
-
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk. The vanilla extract will help enhance that delightful fragrance, while the milk adds just the right amount of moisture.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This combines the dry ingredients evenly, ensuring a consistent texture throughout your cookies.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Aim for a smooth dough without over-mixing, as this helps maintain the incredible tenderness of the wafers.
-
Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets, leaving space between them. This allows the cookies to spread a bit while baking without merging into one giant treat.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. The aroma wafting from your oven will be tremendous, and you’ll find it hard to resist the temptation to sneak a taste.
-
Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. This crucial step ensures your wafers hold their shape and continue to crisp up.
