Craving Something Sweet and Fun? Try Making Waffle Cookies!
If you have a hankering for something sweet, fun, and a little different, look no further than waffle cookies! These delicious treats combine the satisfaction of a freshly-made waffle with a soft, chewy cookie.
Waffle cookies are made by cooking cookie dough in a waffle iron instead of baking it in the oven. The result is a cookie with a waffle’s signature honeycomb pattern on the outside and a soft, cakey texture on the inside. They’re the best for both breakfast and dessert.
Despite their name, waffle cookies aren’t difficult to make at all. All you need is a basic sugar cookie recipe and a waffle iron. The process is very similar to making regular waffles – you simply spoon small mounds of cookie dough into the hot waffle iron, close it up, and cook the cookies until they’re lightly browned.
Once they’re cooked, you can dress up your cookies however you like. A dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup are classic options. But you can also add chocolate or caramel sauce, sprinkle them with crushed candy or nuts, or sandwich them together with ice cream for a delicious twist on an ice cream sandwich.
Waffle cookies are a fun and tasty way to satisfy your craving for something sweet and indulge your inner child. Their crispy, golden waffle pattern on the outside combined with their soft, cookie dough interior is a match made in heaven.
They’re great for breakfast, dessert, or anytime you need a pick-me-up. Kids will love helping to scoop the dough and watch the cookies take shape in the waffle iron. And the endless topping options mean you can customize them however you like.
The next time you find yourself wanting a little something special, give waffle cookies a try. Just be prepared to fall in love with these crispy, cakey treats!
What Does Waffle Cookies Taste Like?
