Baking holiday cookies together is one of my favorite traditions, and these chocolate waffle iron cookies are a fun twist: you “bake” them in a waffle iron in about a minute! They come out with cute waffle tracks, and a dusting of powdered sugar makes them look like snow. This post started from a recipe shared by former guest writer Betsy McGuire.
Tips
- Use a regular waffle iron, not a deep Belgian one.
- Grease lightly between batches if they stick.
- Watch closely; they go from done to too dark fast.
- Decorate: dip halfway in melted chocolate and add sprinkles.
