Recipes Desserts Cookies Vanilla Wafer Cookies That Are Better Than Storebought 4.6 (116) 98 Reviews 38 Photos This recipe comes from my favorite cookbook from a church. It is simple, easy, inexpensive and delicious! Not to mention it tastes better than the vanilla wafers you can buy at the store! You can make the cookies bigger if you'd like, they just won't have as crispy of an outside. We like to add a slice of banana between two cookies, dip them in chocolate, and then freeze them (; Submitted by usmcwifey Updated on September 29, 2022 Save Rate Print Share Close Add Photo 38 38 38 38 Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Total Time: 30 mins Servings: 14 Yield: 28 servings Jump to Nutrition Facts Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops!
