Every Wednesday Jean and I travel to the Volusia County Flea Market in Florida in search of whatever treasures cross our mind that day. This particular day we came across a waffle maker that appeared to be from the early days of waffle makers. It was very heavy and had a cord on it that made you question whether it was even safe to plug in. But for $5.00 how could I go wrong. I decided to try it out making a waffle cookie and what do you know, not only did it work but much better than the new fangled ones.
BATTER
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Cup Unsalted Butter (soften)
4 Eggs
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
Heat your waffle maker
In a stand mixer blend together the butter, vanilla and sugars until fluffy. Then add in the eggs one at a time until completely mixed. Add the flour slowly about one cup at a time. For my waffle maker I placed the batter into a pastry bag and ran the batter along the groves until filled. (you may want to experiment to get the right format with your maker). Cook for 45 seconds to a minute until golden brown, carefully remove the waffle using a frosting spatula and a fork and place onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Eat them as they are or fill them with your favorite cream to make a cookie sandwich. (my waffle maker dose not have a non-stick surface so I had to spray with vegetable spray before using) Try a small amount on your waffle maker, you may need a small amount of coating also.
Enjoy
