This was a fantastic recipe. I typically only make the recipes that have high review counts but I am glad I changed my mind for this one. I used this recipe to make cookies for my banana pudding. The held up perfectly in the pudding and didn't get soggy like the store bought does. I am completely sold on this simple and quick recipe. Oh and I substituted amaretto for the vanilla which I believe is becoming my secret ingredient!

These were good; but not like vanilla wafers (at least like the nabisco wafers I was striving for). They were more like sugar cookies with a little extra vanilla. I made the recipe exact except only used 3/4 C of sugar. I rolled them into small balls (about 3/4 inch in diameter). Then I used a fork to flatten them (like you do with peanut butter cookies). I baked until golden brown was creeping up the sides of the cookies. Great shape & very nice crunchiness doing it this way. Kids ate them up; okay, I ate alot too-lol! I will make again because of the easy (didn't even have to pull out the mixer, just used a spoon); but still searching for a recipe that tastes like nabisco vanilla wafers.

Fantastic! Quick & easy, better & cheaper than the store-bought kind. Sure to be a regular addition to our cookie jar.

Terrific, and very simple.

So simple and quick. I didn't even use my mixer, I just mixed with a wooden spoon. Prep took 5 mins. I accidentally used soda instead of powder and the cookies puffed up, but they are still delicious. I was done in 20 minutes. I made an even 2 dozen and baked them all on a very large cookie sheet.

DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!Thanks!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!Thanks!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!Thanks!!! I will never and i do mean never buy from the store.

We used 3/4 Cup sugar, also tried dropping the cookies but they were puffy, unlike "Nilla Wafer" cookies so we rolled about a level teaspoon-full in the palm & then softly flattened. They turned out Excellent! If you like crispy edges, slightly chewey centers, and the taste of sweet, crispy butter --these are a dieter's nightmare on the hips but fantasy on the lips. My husband's a cookie-hater (chocolate-chip is the only one he'll even bother with) and he took a cereal bowl FULL of these from the cooling racks & a mug of milk & went off dunking & munching. ***!!!BEWARE!!!***

There is way too much sugar in the recipe. Other than that, it taste great.

This recipe is awsome. I made them today and it was a big hit. I didn't think they were too sweet, they were just right...

WOW!!!! All I can say is these bad boys could really hurt someone's diet!! NUUUUMMMMMYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! I only used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar....DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!Thanks!!!

These were SO yummy. Not as hard as the kind you would get in the box at the stores, so that was a little different. But, you can always cook a little longer to make a little harder. I used these for the Banana Pudding IV on this site and cooked them a little longer so they'd be crispier for the topping. Will make again. Thanks! :)

Very good. Never made homemade vanilla wafers before, but these were really good. The batter tasted really good too.

These cookies are phenomenal! I cut the sugar to 3/4 Cup and they were perfect. I also added a bit of orange zest.Yield was 17 portions. These are easy and are now one of my regular favorites.

this is absolutely one of the best drop sugar cookies I've ever made. I made this 9 years ago from the Taste of Home magazine for my then fiance. He adored them and keeps asking me to make them for him. I'm so glad I found the exact recipe for him again. I send them on deployments with him because they travel well in a sealed container. If you're looking for a delicious vanilla cookie, this is definitely one you could do. Variations: you can dip half in chocolate, or use some crushed nuts like lightly toasted pecans pressed into the top. Gives very rich flavor. Great for Christmas cookies.

so quick and easy to make with ingredients i always have on hand. i, personally, would also cut back on the sugar. i used brown sugar because that's all i had on hand and still tasted great.

I like this recipe a lot, but it's much sweeter than I expected. I might try using less sugar next time. Also, what does "21 servings" mean? Dropping "by the teaspoonsful" gave me 32 cookies. At first, I was using a 2-teaspoon scoop, which resulted in nice small cookies (2-inches in diameter). But I got sick of using the scoop, so started just eyeballing it. Those cookies ended up a little bigger, 2-1/2" diameters. So had I stuck with my 2-tsp scoop, it would have been even MORE cookies. But I'll probably make this one again...

My family loved these. They made the house smell wonderful while baking. My husband said they were even better the next day!
