Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt and cool the butter.
- Cream the sugar and egg yolks together.

- Fold in the beaten egg whites gently.

Tips & Substitutions
For optimal results, ensure your butter is just melted and not too hot when mixing. If you don't have cornstarch, you can substitute with an equal amount of all-purpose flour, but the texture will differ slightly. For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Make sure to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form for a light and airy cookie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these waffle cookies as a delightful treat with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit, making them a great addition to a brunch spread alongside the Strawberry Mold. For an extra touch, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Waffle cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. To reheat, place the cookies in a toaster oven for a few minutes until warm, which will restore some of their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of sugar?
Yes, you can use alternatives like coconut sugar or a sugar substitute, but be mindful that this may alter the taste and texture slightly. If you opt for a liquid sweetener, adjust the butter accordingly to maintain the right consistency.
What should I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk or water to loosen it. This will help in achieving the right consistency for pouring into the waffle iron. Just be cautious not to add too much at once.
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter the day before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before cooking. Alternatively, you can bake the cookies in advance and reheat them when ready to serve.
