Equipment

hand mixer
whisk
rubber spatula
light-colored baking sheet
1-teaspoon measuring spoon

Ingredients

4 oz butter, softened ((½ cup or 1 stick)
⅓ cup granulated white sugar (67g)
⅓ cup powdered sugar (40g)
¼ cup milk of choice (59mL)
2-3 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour (150g)
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, beat softened butter and sugars together with a hand mixer on medium speed until pale, fluffy, and integrated (about 1 minute).
Beat in milk and vanilla with the hand mixer until combined.
Separately, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients into wet mixture and use a rubber spatula to combine, careful not to overwork the dough.
Prepare a light-colored baking sheet with parchment and spray with cooking spray.
Portion the dough with a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon, leveling each scoop and rolling it into a ball with your hands. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet and flatten each dough ball into a 1-inch disc, using your hands or a rubber spatula.
Bake 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on bottoms.
Allow to cool completely before storing.
Homemade nilla wafers will last 7-10 days stored in an airtight container in the pantry or cabinet.
Yields 70-80 eggless vanilla wafers.
