Tips for vanilla cookies

Because these cookies have a basic vanilla flavor, it’s easy to customize them with other flavors.

Make vanilla orange cookies by adding 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest.

Make lemon cookies by replacing the vanilla essence with 1 teaspoon lemon zest. You can also use lime!

Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle cookies with cinnamon sugar before baking.

Replace the vanilla sugar with other flavorings: maple extract, rum extract, or caramel essence.

Mixed spices: Add ½ teaspoon of mixed spices to the dough before adding the flour.

If you prefer a chewier cookie, use light brown sugar.

How to store vanilla cookies

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 month. If the cookies become soft, you can make them crisp again by baking them in the oven at 280°F for 10 minutes.
