Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Beat butter with powdered sugar until very light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
2
Gradually fold in egg whites alternating with flour until the batter is smooth and just combined. It should be the consistency of thick cream and fall slowly from a lifted spoon.
3
Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a ¼-inch plain round tip. Pipe 3-inch thin lines onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart — they will spread considerably.
4
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain pale. Cool completely on the pan — they firm as they cool into the characteristic thin, crispy wafers. Serve with crème brûlée, ice cream, or alongside coffee.
