Sweet Chocolate Chip Waffle Cookies

My favorite part about browsing new cookbooks or food magazines is when something catches my eye and and I just have to make it. That is just what happened when I was reading my most recent copy of Simple and Delicious. I came across these chocolate chip waffle cookies and I had to make them.  These are not a traditional waffle recipe but rather tasty cookies made in a waffle iron.  With no preparation to the store beforehand I just worked with the ingredients I had on hand. That meant no cashews and regular sized milk chocolate chips versus the miniature semi-sweet the recipe called for.

The verdict? Is this a recipe you make as soon as you discover? Absolutely, yes!

My husband couldn’t stop eating them. He had a love hate relationship with them because he loved them so much he went into a bit of sugar overload. And my boys had a blast working in the kitchen on them with me.

The flavors and textures for this cookie is unique and so delicious. Once they had a chance to cool they were heavenly.

The combination of the chocolate with coconut gave this amazing flavor combination, even though my husband couldn’t even tell at first there was coconut. It is subtle and perfect and the cookie has this cool crunch that isn’t too hard but just different.  While the  regular sized milk chocolate chips still achieved the flavor I was hoping, I would use miniature in the future to make it even easier to keep my waffle iron clean as I worked and to remove them

Waffle Cookies Tip:

Because these cookies are hot and don’t have a chance to firm up as they would if you let them sit a bit from the oven, you have to support them as you lift them. I found a rubber scraper holding one side as I carefully lifted them from the other worked well. If one side seemed to be sticking I tried another. Do not force it or your cookies will break apart.

 With any cookie I like to remain consistent with size so I loved using my cookie scoop.

I found that adding the sugar on top gave them a much more decadent and rather elegant appearance, don’t you? Because of the type of waffle iron and ingredients that I used were were just slightly altered they turned out looking like a completely different cookie than the one in the magazine but I love the look of these.

I highly recommend you give these waffle cookies try and be sure to come back and let me know how they fared in your house. Were they also gone in two days like in mine?

    Genious! I’ll have to try these with my kids. They’ll probably think I’m off my rocker, but it should be interesting. 🙂 And I love that you don’t have to heat up the big ‘ole oven!

      Yes! Perfect for baking cookies in the summer AND you don’t even need a mixer.

    I just made these cookies except I made them GLUTEN FREE! I used an all purpose gluten free flour (bobs red mill) and added 1 teaspoon xantham gum and followed the recipe as is. They turned out great and every one thinks they are regular cookies. These are being added to my gluten free collection!

    Well….this recipe just has my jaw dropped! Cookies in a waffle iron??! It’s so crazy that I have to do it! 🙂 I’m wondering if the coconut was left out if it would throw everything off. I LOVE coconut but no one else in my house would eat them if they had coconut in them. Hhhmmmm….maybe I SHOULD put coconut in them. 🙂
