This about the humble little Vanilla Wafer. Did you know that the Vanilla Wafer is made out of just cake mix with less water, about 1 1/3 cup less than the cake mix calls for. Just use any cake mix, the oil, eggs and 2 Tbsp. milk or water. Put in a baggie or decorating bag with tip cut off, make silver dollar size or smaller dots of cake mix on parchment paper and bake 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or less, check after 10 minutes to make sure they are not burnt.

Hi Mary, I don't use cake mixes-it is so easy to mix it up yourself, and you know what is in it. I use this recipe for mine, and yes it is easy. Slightly different from yours.
1 1/4 C. all purpose flour, 1/4 C. cornstarch, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 C. (1 stick) butter at room temperature, 1 C. sugar, 1 large egg, 2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp. lemon extract. Set racks in the middle and upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Into a large bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together--three times. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 2 minutes, until creamy.
Neat.....I make cookies with the cake mixes all the time cause it is easier......but i never made vanilla wafers.......this is it.........
one cake mix any flavor
Need to ask, the cake mixes in my cupboard have water content of 1 1/4 to 1 1/3 cup so how much water did you use. Thanks. This would be a good recipe to try.
