<h3> Steps:</h3>

<b> Prepare the Strawberry Filling:</b>

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat, stirring now and then, until the strawberries let out their juice and the mixture starts bubbling.

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to make a slurry. Stir this slurry into the strawberry mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens (about 5 minutes).

Take it off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Let the strawberry filling cool to room temperature.

<b> Make the Wafer Cookies:</b>

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until it's light and fluffy. Add the egg white and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is well combined.

In a different bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one. Flatten each dollop with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form thin rounds.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the wafers cool completely on a wire rack.

<b> Assemble the Strawberry Wafers:</b>

Once the wafers are cooled, spread a layer of the strawberry filling onto the underside of one wafer and top it with another wafer, pressing gently to sandwich them together.

<h3> Storing Your Strawberry Wafers:</h3>

To keep your strawberry wafers fresh and crispy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can stay delicious for up to a week. If you need to keep them for a longer period, consider freezing them.

Just ensure they are well-wrapped in plastic wrap or placed in a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

These homemade strawberry wafers are a delightful treat that will impress family and friends alike. Enjoy the sweet taste of summer in every crispy bite!
