         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.
