Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter softened (cutting it into pieces helps speed up this process straight out of the fridge)
- 1/4 cup sugar white
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract see recipe notes, pure
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and salt together using a stand mixer on medium speed (or by hand if you don't have one) until smooth. Slowly add in the flour until well combined. See recipe notes regarding vanilla extract.
- Roll the dough into a log (I found my cookie press was a good "mold" for helping to do this). Slice thin - just under 1/4" inch thickness - and place onto ungreased baking sheets about 1" apart.
- Bake until edges are just beginning to turn golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. We found the less brown they are, the more they taste like store-bought Nilla Wafers.
Notes
- As mentioned in the blog post, the type of vanilla you use matters A LOT in this recipe. You may want to experiment with a little more or less than the listed 1 tablespoon.
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
