Make these waffle cookies in a regular waffle iron or a heart-shaped waffle iron for Valentine's Day. They are delicious plain, but this fancy version dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with pink and red sugar is extra special. Adapted from Scandinavian Gatherings

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 12-oz bag Wilton's candy melts in white
  • pink and red sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat your waffle iron. I usually start on medium and adjust as needed.
  2. In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 1 minute on medium speed. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt, and beat again just until combined. Mix in the flour, and beat on low speed just until combined.
  3. Roll the dough into 1" balls, and set the balls aside on a cookie sheet.
  4. When the waffle iron is ready, place dough balls on the waffle iron. If you are using a heart-shaped waffle iron, you can read my tips above on how to place the dough on the waffle iron. If you have a standard square waffle iron, place 1 dough ball in each of the four smaller squares. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, until cookies are golden. Use a fork to gently lift the cookies from the waffle iron; place them on a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  5. When the cookies have cooled, place the candy melts in a glass measuring cup, and melt according to the directions on the package. Dip one edge of the cookies in the melted candy, shaking gently to remove an excess candy coating. Place the dipped cookies back on the cooling rack, and sprinkle with pink and red sugar. Allow the candy to harden before serving the cookies.
