Waffle Cookies Recipe with Buttercream Frosting
Easy recipe for soft cookies with buttercream frosting and maple syrup
Ingredients
- 5 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter 3 sticks
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Buttercream Frosting
- 1/2 cup salted butter 1 stick
- 3 cups confectioner's sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. (Alternatively, do this part in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer.)
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until combined.
- Using a 3 Tbsp. cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the baking sheets. Flatten each dough ball with a spatula. Using a wooden or metal skewer, make criss-cross depressions into each cookie in a waffle pattern.
- Bake 23-25 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
- Make the frosting: Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla and milk in a stand mixer and beat until smooth. Using a 1 Tbsp. cookie scoop, place one scoop of frosting onto each cooled cookie. Drizzle with maple syrup.
