A benne wafer recipe that will bring a taste of Charleston to your cookie table

Posted by Tobi Tarwater on Thursday, August 1, 2024

Benne seed wafers are the signature cookie of Charleston, S.C. We loved this rendition from food writer and culinary historian John Martin Taylor, via his friend Virginia Willis. The crisps are sweet, rich and gorgeously lacy.

Recipe note: The baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 1 week or frozen for several months.
