Belgian Waffle Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional waffles, blending the irresistible flavors of butter, sugar, and vanilla into a cookie that’s crisp on the outside and soft inside. Perfect for any occasion, the little treats will surely bring joy to your taste buds.
When it comes to the butter, feel free to substitute margarine if you prefer a dairy-free option. Eggs can also be replaced with an equivalent of egg substitute for those with allergies. Always choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor, especially for the vanilla, as it truly enhances the cookie’s richness.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs (or equivalent)
- 2 1/4 cups flour
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, place 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar. Cream them together on medium-low speed until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then increase the mixer speed to medium and blend until well combined.
- Crack in 2 eggs (or equivalent) and mix until the mixture is smooth.
- Decrease the mixer speed to low, gradually add 2 1/4 cups of flour, and mix until the batter is well combined and without lumps.
- Divide the batter into four portions, each about 3/4 cup in size.
- Using one portion, drop the batter onto each corner of the waffle maker’s grids, ensuring even distribution.
- Close the waffle maker and bake until steam no longer escapes, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle cookie from the maker and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Serve the cookies plain or with your favorite fruit filling and a dollop of whipped cream.
