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:

  1. 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:

  1. Gently add the room-temperature egg to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth consistency.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  1. 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:

  1. Lightly grease a waffle iron and preheat it to low heat. This ensures the cookies cook evenly without burning.

Shape and Cook the Cookies:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
