How to Make Belgian Lukken Waffle Cookies

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips (optional).
- Preheat your Lukken iron or pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Lightly grease the iron with butter or cooking spray.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the hot iron, ensuring not to overcrowd.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
