This was so much fun. I love trying new things and I love it when something is different and unexpected. Like a cookie that's impersonating a waffle. How cool is that?The dough is pretty similar to any chocolate cookie, except it does have more eggs (4, to be exact) which I guess helps it say together when it's in the waffle iron.
The only waffle iron we had in the house happened to be a belgian waffle iron, which obviously makes a thicker, bigger waffle. This is what Martha's looked like. I think the shapes I was getting were a bit different than what you'd get from normal waffle iron, but you still get the waffle effect. I think they're pretty cool.
The cookie was good but I think it was a bit on the dry side. The chocolate glaze was good but I didn't really have enough to cover all the cookies I made, so I used it sparingly. And the confectioners' sugar is really just to add to the illusion of it being a waffle. So they were fun to make and a cute idea but as a cookie there are other tastier choices.
Yield:
Recipe predicts: About 4 dozen.
Actual: About 3 dozen, but they were bigger than they should've been, so that's probably why.

What a great idea! And they are pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteHow long does one need to leave them in the toaster. Just a few minutes?
I hadn't even thought of toasting them....I guess because I just have a traditional pop-up toaster and I would think they would crumble in there. But a couple minutes in a toaster oven should do it.
