As I have explored the internet I have seen waffle cookies several times. I thought it would be fun to try my hand at it. For my first attempt, I used peanut butter cookie dough and my family’s reaction was divided. My daughter and I both thought the cookies were too crunchy. I thought about giving up on the idea, but then I remembered that my frosted pumpkin cookies are very moist and might do well in the waffle iron.
I modified my pumpkin cookie recipe and added white chocolate chips. They came out of the waffle iron slightly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. – amazingly delicious with a wonderful texture. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this cookie making method! The only problem with this recipe is that now my kids are asking if they can eat pumpkin waffle cookies for breakfast.
Kitchen Tip:
