Title: Nabisco Nilla Wafers
Categories: Cookies, Copycat
Yield: 50 Cookies

1/2 c Powdered sugar
1/3 c Sugar
1/3 c Shortening
1 Egg
1 ts Vanilla
1/8 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Cake flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 tb Water

No one knows the exact origin of the vanilla wafer but it's guessed
that the recipe was developed in the south. The wafers were being
whipped up from scratch at home long before Nabisco introduced the
lightweight, poker chip-like packaged cookies in 1945. Back then they
were called Vanilla Wafers. But in the 60s Nabisco slapped the trade
name Nilla Wafers on the box. Today the real things come about 100 to
a box and really fly when whipped into the air with a little flick of
the wrist. Here now, you can relive the days of old with a homemade
version fresh out of the oven. This clone recipe makes about half a
box's worth and they fly just as far.

For just a slight variation on this recipe, with similar aerodynamics,
check out the clone for Sunshine Lemon Coolers.

Preheat oven to 325?F.

Cream together sugars, shortening, egg, vanilla, and salt in a large
bowl.

Add the flour and baking powder. Add 1 tb water and continue mixing
until dough forms a ball.

Roll dough into 3/4" balls and flatten slightly onto a lightly greased
cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until cookies are light
brown.
