Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 3/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– Optional: chocolate chips, sprinkles, or finely chopped nuts for mix-ins
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 3/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– Optional: chocolate chips, sprinkles, or finely chopped nuts for mix-ins
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If you’re using any mix-ins like chocolate chips, now’s the time to fold them in!
5. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Once hot, drop about a tablespoon of cookie batter onto the center of each waffle section. Close the lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and the waffle iron stops steaming.
7. Carefully remove the cookies and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Be cautious; they will be soft and hot at first but will set as they cool down.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the waffle iron is lightly greased as needed to prevent sticking.
Variations & Tips:
– For an extra-rich chocolatey treat, add 1/3 cup of cocoa powder to your batter.
– If you’re a fan of spice, a teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice can add a warm and cozy flavor to your cookies.
– To keep the cookies warm and crisp until serving, pop them in a 200°F oven on a baking sheet.
– Don’t overfill your waffle iron; these cookies spread more than traditional waffles.
– Always wait for the cookies to cool slightly before moving them; they need a moment to firm up after baking.
– Have fun with toppings! Melted chocolate, a scoop of frosting, or a simple glaze can transform these into decadent desserts.
– Remember that each waffle iron is a bit different, so the first batch can be a test run to find the perfect timing for your machine.
