How to Make Belgian Waffle Cookies

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon salt on medium speed.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  6. Divide the batter into four equal portions (approximately ¾ cup each).
  7. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or butter.
  8. Pour one portion of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly to fill the grids (do not overfill).
  9. Close the waffle iron and bake according to the manufacturer's instructions, until golden brown and steam stops escaping (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  10. Carefully remove the waffle cookie from the iron and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Repeat steps 8-10 with the remaining batter.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or add your favorite fruit filling and whipped cream!
