I Â had the waffle maker out to make waffles for the kiddos for breakfast. Â As I was making them I remembered that I had a recipe to make waffle cookies…now if only I could remember which recipe book the recipe was in…. Â After a short hunt I found it.
Being these cookies are so unusual I thought I would add some pictures showing how I made them. Â (My waffle iron is ANCIENT but it works wonderfully so just ignore it’s lack of beauty)
Yummy looking right?? Â Well if you want a chance to give the recipe a try, here it is:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
Cream the sugar and shortening. Â Add eggs and vanilla. Â Beat until smooth. Â Add dry ingredients. Â Drop a heaping teaspoon full on a hot waffle iron. Â Close. Â Watch carefully as they only take a minute to bake. Â Frost when cool.
They are a little tedious to make but a fun change up from regular cookies. Â The childcare kids had fun with the frosting.
On a frosting note I make a chocolate cream cheese frosting that I don’t have a recipe for…something like this
3 tablespoons butter softened
3 ounces cream cheese softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
Enough powdered sugar to make it the consistency you want
Mix and frost.
The recipe really doesn’t make a lot of cookies. Â I would be tempted to double it but making these four a time in the waffle maker is a little tedious.
These are the best cookies!! I also made them while providing childcare.
I make these cookies and they are a family favorite. I have an old waffle iron too and it works just fine and fits into a farmhouse kitchen like mine.
If your family likes cinnamon rolls, take the rolls and put them on the waffle iron, hold it down for 2 minutes and you have cinnamon roll waffles. I’ve done this and they are yummy! Little glaze on top or syrup! Even better!
It is really a great and helpful piece of info. I am glad that you simply
shared this useful info with us. Please keep us informed like this.
Thanks for sharing.
This looks good. Wondering if you could make a waffle size one and then cut while hot into 4 cookies so you could make 8 at a time.
brings back memories. My mom also made these when we were growing up.
trying these right. now.

These were my favorite cookies when I was in grade school. I might have to dig out the waffle iron. And give them a try.
My waffle iron is now 50 years old and still working like a champ. No need to replace something that still works like it’s suppose to.
My family called them turtle cookies. Easy to make and so good!
