Waffle Cookies are a fun and delightful twist on traditional cookies, offering the crispy exterior of a waffle with the soft, chewy texture of a cookie. Made by cooking cookie dough in a waffle iron, these unique treats come together quickly and can be customized with your favorite flavors like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack, waffle cookies are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults. Serve them plain, with a drizzle of syrup, or even topped with ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Powdered sugar or syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Cook the waffle cookies: Drop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough onto each section of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the waffle cookies are golden brown and set.
- Serve: Remove the cookies from the waffle iron and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup for extra sweetness, if desired.
These Waffle Cookies are a fun, quick treat that combines the best of both waffles and cookies, perfect for any time of the day!
