Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened butter 113g
- 2/3 cup sugar 130g

- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 TBSP whole milk
Instructions
- Mill the Flour
- Add baking powder and salt to the flour, and mix.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add softened butter & sugar, then beat with a mixer until creamy and light in color. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
- Then, add one egg and the vanilla extract, beat to combine.
- After incorporated, add the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
- Stir on low speed to combine, and add the milk. Stir to combine again.
- Cover, and refrigerate dough for 10-20 minutes.
- While dough is resting, Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper.

- Then, after the dough has rested, wet your hands with a little water, and scoop out about 2 tsp of dough. Roll the dough in your wet hands to form a small ball, then flatten the ball slightly.
- Place dough disks on lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are a light golden brown around the edges.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy just like that, or use to make some banana pudding! *Recipe coming soon!

Notes
If you want to make these with all purpose flour, you would need about 1&1/2 cup flour (190g)
To store these fresh milled flour vanilla wafers, put them in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For longer storage, place in a freezer safe bag or container, and freeze for up to 4 months. The cookie dough balls also freezes well (make sure to freeze them as disks, not cookie dough balls.) Just bake for a few minutes longer than directed if baking from frozen.
