Yield 30 cookies

Author Harriett Sebastian

This is a simple recipe that is tastier than store-bought wafers!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (110g) softened butter
• 1 cup (238g) sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Generous pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Cream the butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix in well.
4. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Then, add to the butter mixture and combine thoroughly.
5. Taking one teaspoon of dough at a time, gently roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter, and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Check early so that cookies do not overbake. They should be golden brown on the bottom and lightly golden on top.
7. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
