Vegan Vanilla Wafers
This Vegan Vanilla Wafers are perfectly crisp and buttery with just the right amount of vanilla. Made with basic pantry staples so they are simple and budget friendly!
Servings 55 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup non dairy butter
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 2 tsp imitation vanilla see note below
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp non dairy milk
Instructions
- Add non dairy butter and sugar in the bowl of stand mixer or use a large bowl with a hand mixer. Cream together until light and fluffy about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and non dairy milk. Mix again to incorporate.
- Add salt, baking powder and half of flour. Combine to incorporate. Add remaining flour and combine just to form dough. Don't over mix. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Roll chilled dough into small balls, about 1 teaspoon of dough. Place on prepared baking sheets leaving space between each.
- Flatten the balls. Lay a small piece of parchment paper or wax paper on top and use the bottom of a cup to press down evenly.
- Bake for 22-24 minutes. The cookies will be a little soft, but will crisp more as they cool.
Notes
Imitation vanilla will produce a flavor closer to Nilla Wafers, but you can use extract or paste too.
