Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth, soft dough forms.
Using a teaspoon, drop small, rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges of the wafers turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they bake, as they can darken quickly.
Remove from the oven and let the wafers cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
