Waffle Iron Cookies

Recipe by
Great Lakes Energy Cooperative  
45 minutes
Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 2 1/2 minutes each batch | Servings: Are you kidding? At least 2 each!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 pound of butter (4 sticks)
  • 6 eggs (separated)
  • 6 cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a mixer.
  2. Add egg yolks one at a time and vanilla.
  3. Add all dry ingredients.
  4. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff.
  5. Fold egg whites into first mixture.
  6. Bake on a hot, well greased waffle iron until golden brown. (waffle irons differ, in mine, it takes  2 1/2 minutes to produce 8 cookies at a time, two in each square). It is only necessary to grease the waffle iron for the first batch if using a Teflon coated waffle iron.
  7. Cool on wire racks, lifting each with the tines of a fork from the waffle iron.
  8. Keeps for a week in airtight containers. Freezes beautifully.

For speed and ease in baking, walnut-sized balls may be rolled ahead of time instead of dropping dough from a teaspoon. Makes approximately 8-10 dozen depending on the size of the ball.

    These were good! Takes a bit longer with using the waffle iron, but great for snack. We used them for breakfast in the morning when we were running late. No syrup needed.

    Great cookies! My family requested a new batch as soon as they finished the first one. Very portable.
