definition: Vanilla is a substance that comes from the fruit of a certain plant. It is used to add flavor to foods. Vanilla is very often used in ice cream and baked things like cookies and cake. When the color of ice cream is white, it usually has the flavor of vanilla. The plant that gives us vanilla grows in warm, tropical countries.
Extra vanilla in the cookies makes them taste even better, I think.
