Recipe Fun Friday: Vanilla Wafers



I came across a recipe for vanilla wafers a few years ago, and I thought, "What a great idea! If I can make my own, they will be more healthful, and I won't have to buy any." Well, I never got around to making them...until Wednesday. (By that time, I had to find a new recipe because I had lost the old one.)

All three of my children crowded together on one chair to "help." It was Rachel's first time "helping."

Sarah Beth and Daniel had a great time helping me make these cookies, and Rachel enjoyed being on the chair just like her big brother and sister. We all enjoyed eating these cookies. And boy! are they good! If you decide to make them, however, be sure to double the recipe. I was only able to get thirty cookies from this recipe, and that won't last us very long, especially since these cookies are so delicious.

Have you tried a new recipe lately? How did it go?

Yum! I'll have to try it - and thanks for the tip about doubling it!

I'll have to try those. I love storebought vanilla wafers, though I never buy them because I'd eat half the box in one sitting. These look even better!

Aurie, definitely try these! They are so good!

Laura, these are so much better than store bought vanilla wafers. But you may need to triple or quadruple the batch for your crew!

I also make homemade vanilla wafers - and we eat them up very quickly. Love what cute, eager helpers you have!

Thanks, Tracey! I'm a little partial to them, too! (The helpers, that is.)
