Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 c butter softened
- 1 1/2 c dark brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 3 1/2 c flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the softened butter and dark brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Place approximately 2 tablespoons of batter in the center of the hot waffle iron.
- Close the waffle iron and cook until the cookie is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the waffle iron. The cookie is ready when it releases easily and does not stick.
- Carefully remove the cookie and transfer it to a cooling rack.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, allowing each cookie to cool completely on the rack.
Notes
To make this Butter Waffle Cookies Recipe gluten free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend that is designed to replace regular flour in baked goods. For the best texture, use a blend that already contains xanthan gum or add it according to the package directions if needed. Also check that the baking soda, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar are certified gluten free if you are baking for someone with celiac disease or a strong gluten intolerance. Since waffle irons can sometimes hold traces of previous batters, be sure the waffle iron is thoroughly cleaned before use to avoid cross-contact.
