You’ve ever had an irresistible craving for sweets? Waffle cookies could be the answer to your prayers.

These cookies combine the best of both worlds. They have golden, crispy waffles and buttery cookies that melt in your mouth.

They’re not really waffles, of course. But you make them on a waffle iron, so they have that fun waffle shape and crisp edges.

Each bite is a masterpiece of taste and texture, especially once you coat them in decadent powdered sugar.

They almost resemble miniature funnel cakes.

Trust me; you’re going to love these waffle cookies, whether you’ve had them before or not.

Waffle Cookies

Waffle cookies go by many different names. Some people call them waffle iron cookies or waffle iron sugar cookies.

Others call them Belgian cookies.

No matter what you call them, they’re the same great cookie.

They’re fun to make and even more fun to eat.

Plus, they come in different flavors and offer a myriad of toppings. Don’t confuse them with stroopwafels, though.

While they look similar, these waffle cookies are much easier to make.

If you can make homemade sugar cookies, you can make these. The only real difference is the waffle iron!

Let’s look at what ingredients you’ll need.

Ingredients

The first thing you’ll need to make waffles is, you guessed it, a waffle iron!

That’s what gives the cookies their unique appearance and crispy texture.

Here’s what else you’ll need:

• Butter: I use salted butter and strictly follow the recipe for all other ingredients. However, if you use unsalted butter, you may need to adjust the amount of salt you use. Whatever your choice, make sure it’s softened before adding it to the dough.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar works best in the dough. It gives the cookies their sweetness.
• Eggs: Eggs are the standard for nearly all cookie recipes. They help hold the dough together and also ensure the cookies are light and fluffy.
• Vanilla extract: The extract gives the cookies their warm, rich flavor. However, you can substitute vanilla with almonds, rum, or something else.
• Flour: I recommend using all-purpose flour. It’s easy to work with, and most people have it on hand.
• Baking powder: Baking powder keeps the cookies soft and tender on the inside. The edges will become slightly crispy due to the waffle iron. However, most of the cookie will retain its softness.
• Salt: Salt adds some extra flavor to the cookies. If you use unsalted butter, you may need to add a little more salt than the recipe calls for.
• Powdered sugar: You’ll use it to sprinkle the cookies once they’re ready. Some people prefer to top them with maple syrup or other toppings.
