Ever since seeing this recipe on Baking Bites, I've wanted to make Vanilla Wafers. I know it's been a few months, but it's stayed in the back of my mind. Then, I recently got a piping kit. Yay for $5 thrift store finds! I figured now's a good a time as any, so I just went ahead and made some of these mini vanilla wafers. You could go for the original, using a plain tip (or a bag with the corner cut off). However, since I'd just gotten the piping kit, I wanted to try out ALL the tips. :) My favorite? The one with all the little spikes pointing slightly inward. After they baked, they look a bit fancier and without any extra effort. Win! Make mini vanilla wafers or make regular sized ones. Either way, make some! James said they taste kinda like the store-bought ones, but better. But isn't that how home made works?

I love vanilla wafers, but have never tried homemade. I bet these are delicious! They sure are pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I am brainstorming so many things I could use them for. Thanks so much for sharing at Inspiration Thursday. Hope to see you again tonight!
ReplyDeleteYes! And like most things homemade, we enjoyed them more than storebought. :) Hope you get to try them!
ReplyDeleteAren't they? :) We didn't get so far as trying to figure out what to use them for - aside from a snack. :) I'll try to stop by again!
ReplyDeleteThese look so delicious! Thank you for sharing at the Wednesday Showcase!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed them. :) Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an easy recipe and you can make the wafers as plain or as fancy as you'd like. I appreciate that you posted the mass and volumes of each item so that it doesn't matter what measure you use. See you this weekend at our Over the Moon Link Party.
ReplyDeleteOh my son used to loooooove 'nilla wafers. Can't wait to try these! Thanks for bringing them to (last week's) Saucy Saturdays and sorry it took me so long to get here!
ReplyDeleteYes! Fancy them up as much (or little) as you want. :) I know I like being able to choose which measurement methods without having to do all the conversions, so I thought you might too. Glad to see you like it! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! They're such a fun little snack. :) We liked these better since they taste more homemade. :)
