Homemade Vanilla Wafers

We have some ripe bananas to use up and I don't want banana bread. We decided that we'd make banana pudding but didn't have any Nilla Wafers. So, we decided to make our own.

I used this recipe.

Instead of dropping the dough onto cookie sheets, I rolled the dough into one-inch balls. I got 4 1/3 dozen cookies out of the dough by doing it this way.

The cookies flattened out during the baking process and they look to be about the size of store-bought Nilla Wafers. I wanted mine to be a bit crunchier than the recipe poster had suggested so I cooked them for about 18 minutes until they were golden brown all over.
