Spring projects and a nostalgic cookie recipe

Spring is finally here to stay in North Idaho and that means the hustle and bustle of spring projects is in full swing.

In this video I also share my nostalgic cookie recipe for vanilla wafers. There’s something nostalgic about vanilla wafers. Crispy, buttery and just the right amount of vanilla and sweetness these cookies feels like they belong in a vintage cookie jar on your grandma’s kitchen counter. These little cookies also bring back childhood memories of road trips in the summer to Southern California to visit family. We always had a box or two in the snack bag.

This homemade version is made with real butter, a whole egg, and a generous splash of vanilla extract. You can even scrape the caviar from a vanilla bean pod for that beautiful speckled look and deep, rich flavor if your little heart desires.

Whether you’re baking these to pack into a lunchbox for a treat, or just to keep on hand for afternoon coffee or tea, they’re a delightful, nostalgic treat that’s incredibly easy to whip up from scratch.
