Title: Butter Wafers
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 50 Cookies
2 c All-purpose flour; sifted
1 c Sugar
3/4 c Butter; softened
1 Egg; slightly beaten
1 tb Milk
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
Sift flour and sugar together into a mixing bowl. Add butter and
work it in with tips of fingers or a pastry blender. Combine egg,
milk, and vanilla, and stir into flour mixture. Mix well to form a
dough. Shape into 1/2" balls. If dough seems too soft, refrigerate
until the desired consistency is reached before shaping. Place
balls 2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten balls to 1/16"
thickness using the bottom of a glass covered with a damp cloth.
Bake in a 400°F oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until slightly browned
around the edges. Do not bake too brown. Remove immediately to a
wire rack to cool. Store in a tightly covered container.
