Waffle Cookies
36 Cookies
Made in a waffle maker rather than the oven, these soft Waffle Cookies are so much fun to make! Dip them in chocolate for a holiday twist.
Equipment
Mini Waffle Maker
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers optional
- 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers optional
- ¼ cup sprinkles optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Heat the waffle iron to medium-low. Drop 1.5-2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto the hot waffle maker plates then fold the waffle maker down and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cookie is lightly golden. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To Coat in Chocolate: Melt the chocolates in 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each. Dip half the cookie in the chocolate and then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sprinkles and place in the fridge for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is firmed up.
Notes
- Cool before adding chocolate: Let all of the waffle cookies cool down completely before you start adding melted chocolate and sprinkles to them.
- Instead of the chocolate, try giving these cookies a sprinkle of powdered sugar after they've cooled down. A drizzle of caramel sauce or a maple syrup glaze would also be delish!
- A Mini Waffle Maker is the best tool for cooking these. You can bake cookies with a regular-sized waffle maker, but the cookies will be thicker and have less of a waffle pattern.
- If your waffle maker is not non-stick, you will want to spray it with cooking spray before adding the cookie dough.
- Be careful. The cookies will be very hot when you take them off of the iron. Use a fork to remove them so that you don't burn yourself.
