Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually add sugar, vanilla, and melted butter to the eggs, mixing well.
- Add flour, cinnamon, and soda to the mixture, stirring until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a preheated waffle iron.
- Bake until the cookies are golden brown and crispy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using unsalted butter instead of salted. You can substitute half of the sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. Ensure your waffle iron is well greased to prevent sticking and to achieve a crisp finish.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a fun twist, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with chocolate sauce. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter alongside Polish Butter Cookies(Makes 3 To 4 Dozen) for a variety of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Gouflette in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or use a toaster oven to restore their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of flour in this recipe?
Yes, you can experiment with different flours. For a gluten-free version, substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. However, the texture may vary slightly, so you might need to adjust the liquid ingredients to achieve the right consistency.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If the batter appears too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. This will help achieve a better spooning texture for the waffle iron without compromising the integrity of the cookies.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when they turn golden brown and are crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them as they bake, as cooking times may vary based on your specific waffle iron. A good rule of thumb is to check them after about 5 minutes.
