4 Servings
Ingredients
- 100 g soft flour all-purpose flour
- 2 g baking powder
- 50 g unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 35 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the granulated sugar and continue mixing until the texture is light and fluffy.
Incorporate the Egg:
- Gently add the room-temperature egg to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the soft flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding them in using a spatula until a cohesive dough forms.
Preheat the Waffle Iron:
- Lightly grease a waffle iron and preheat it to low heat. This ensures the cookies cook evenly without burning.
Shape and Cook the Cookies:
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, place small portions of dough onto the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and crisp.
Cool and Serve:
- Transfer the cooked cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, the cookies will firm up and achieve their signature crisp texture.
Notes
To make these Butter Waffle Cookies gluten-free, simply substitute the soft flour with an equal amount of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 teaspoon separately to improve the dough’s elasticity and texture. Follow the same instructions for a perfect gluten-free result.
