EASY VANILLA WAFERS

To give these cookies a pretty curved shape, drape them over a wooden dowel or the handle of a wooden spoon immediately after removing them from the cookie sheet.

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1/3 cup Vanilla Sugar (see recipe) 1/4 cup egg whites 1/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour Pinch of salt

For wafers: Preheat oven to 400 deg. F. Generously butter heavy large cookie sheets. Beat 1/4 cup butter and sugar in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites. Gradually mix in flour and salt (batter will be soft.) Drop batter by level teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden brown and centers of cookies are still pale, about 7 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container.)

VANILLA SUGAR

Use this sugar to add a fresh-tasting vanilla flavor to all your favorite recipes. It's especially good when used to sweeten whipped cream.

2 cups sugar 1 vanilla bean, cut into small pieces

For sugar: Process sugar and vanilla bean in processor until vanilla bean is very finely minced. Strain sugar to remove any large pieces of vanilla bean. Store sugar in airtight container.
