Gluten Free, Dairy Free (Nilla) Vanilla Wafer Cookies

This is another one of those recipes that remind me of my childhood. I absolutely loved ‘nilla wafers as a kid. The main purpose of remaking this recipe into a version that my family can eat is so I can make the banana pudding with ‘nilla wafers that we all loved as kids.

This cookie turned out perfect to me. My kids kept sneaking them off of the counter top as they were cooling. They enjoyed these just as a treat to have. These would be great to pack in lunch boxes too.
