Here’s the all-star, easy-to-follow recipe of buttery wafers
Ingredients for about 5 dozens:- 1 1/2 cups butter, room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time.
- (If you want, you can add 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/8 tsp almond extract)
- Gradually add flour combined with baking powder and salt and stir until well mixed.
- Shape soft dough into 1-inch balls.
- Refrigerate for about 60 minutes (the proportion of butter makes the dough very soft and a bit tricky to work with when it is at room temperature.)
- Once dough has chilled, it can be shaped into logs. Shape into 1 1/2 inch diameter logs, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until very firm.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten cookies to 1/4-inch thickness slices and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies to allow for spread.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes, until cookies are golden at the edges.
- Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
