Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour and mix until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Shape and bake the cookies: Scoop spoonfuls of dough and place them evenly spaced on the waffle iron. Close the lid gently and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove the cookies and let them cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Do not overfill the waffle iron to prevent dough from spilling out.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely to maintain crispness.
  • Vanilla extract can be substituted with vanilla bean paste for a more intense flavor.
