I love vanilla wafers! They are the most delicious cookies ever.
The only problem is you cannot stop eating these once you make them.
They are so addicting! You won’t want to go back to store-bought vanilla wafers after making these.
 

 VANILLA WAFERS (Yields: 20-25 cookies)
 
  • 225 GRAM SUPERFINE OR GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 4 LARGE EGGS ROOM TEMPERATURE
  • 275 GRAM ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1-2 TEASPOONS VANILLA BEAN PASTE OR VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 2 TABLESPOONS SUGAR

PREPARATION; 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets, with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place 225-gram sugar and eggs and vanilla bean paste in a bowl and whisk together.
  • Place the bowl over simmering water and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Immediately pour into the standing mixer bowl, and whip on low-medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • Stop mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
  • Continue mixing on high speed until a ribbon effect is formed when you lift the beater. This takes about 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, sift the flour.
  • Sift in the flour a little at a time, folding it in gently each time with a spatula; try to keep most of the volume you just created when you whipped the eggs.
  • Using a piping bag with a round decorating tip (Wilton 1A), pipe the batter into little rounds.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • I like to use the convection setting in my oven; it gives the cookies a little “fluff, talks about fluff, tries these cookies topped with some fluff, you can find the recipe for that here.

  1. Going to do these very soon. Have tried other recipes with great success.

  2. I was looking for a something to go with the peach ice cream I made this afternoon when I came across this recipe. Perfect timing! Just took a batch out of the oven and I couldn’t be happier. These cookies are wonderful! Light, crisp and very easy too. Definitely a keeper! (PS: Not the same Robin who posted first :D)

  3. Hi Manuela, thank you for all your recipes 🙂 tried this the other day and they were gone the next! The small cookies are so light, the right amount of sweet, and absolutely delicious!

  4. Are these soft or crunchy? have you tried it with just almond flour rather than regular for a gluten free version?
    Great video.
