Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (low or sodium-free)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (low-fat or plant-based optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, beating until the mixture is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, low or sodium-free baking powder, and optional ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a soft, slightly sticky consistency.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it if needed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop a rounded spoonful of dough into the center of each waffle section. Do not overfill.
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffle cookies are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle cookies from the iron and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
Repeat with the remaining dough, reheating and regreasing the waffle iron as necessary.
Optional: Lightly dust the cooled waffle cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
