Vanilla Wafer Cookies That Are Better Than Storebought

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix the dry ingredients thoroughly into butter mixture. Drop cookies about 2 inches apart, 1 teaspoon at a time, onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on wire racks.
