Waffle Cookies—in a waffle iron? Yes, please.
When my kids were little, they would request these for Family Night treats all the time. And it’s no wonder, because they are fun to make and fun to eat! And with National Waffle Day coming up on August 24, methinks you should try these.
The chocolate frosting is something I’ve done for so long, I rarely measure and just…I don’t know…do it. But I’ve got some basic instructions for it in the recipe. It’s a very simple frosting. But if you like, you can just eat them plain. Or you could add in some mini chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.
Obviously, the bigger your waffle iron, the quicker these come together. And the waffle iron is just a classic one–not a Belgian waffle iron. Although that could be fun to experiment with!
I also think it would be fun to make little mini Waffle Cookies ice cream sundaes with these! Drizzle some tasty chocolate sauce over the top? Yum.
And speaking of fun things to experiment with, I think it may be time to make some new and fun flavors for Waffle Cookies. What about Snickerdoodle flavor? Vanilla nut? Birthday cake? Creme Brulee? Or keep the chocolate and add in white chocolate chips with chopped macadamia nuts? Or…..
Oh my gosh. I have some research to do.

- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups flour

Instructions

- Close waffle iron and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Carefully lift out with fork and set aside to cool.

Notes
No exact recipe for the frosting, but here’s what I do:
- I start with 1/4 cup of soft butter and cream it with some unsweetened cocoa (maybe 1/3 cup?), a teaspoon of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Then I just start adding in powdered sugar. When it’s too stiff to stir, I drizzle in a little milk. I keep this up till I get the taste and texture I want!
