Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1½ cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 5 cup all-purpose flour

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

  • ½ cup salted butter (softened)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2½ tbsp milk (for thinning)
  • ½ cup maple syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to ensure a non-stick surface for your cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, forming the base for your cookie dough.
  3. Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Baking Powder: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and baking powder, making sure all ingredients are well combined to help your cookies rise.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until the dough begins to form large clumps and can be handled without sticking excessively to your hands.
  5. Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets: Using a 3-inch cookie scoop (approximately ⅓ cup of dough), place dough portions about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow room for spreading.
  6. Shape and Pattern Cookies: Flatten each cookie gently to about ½ inch thickness. Use a wooden skewer to press a waffle pattern into each cookie, giving them their signature look.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown, signaling they are cooked through.
  8. Deepen Waffle Lines if Needed: If the waffle lines flatten during baking, while the cookies are still warm, gently press the pattern back in with the wooden skewer for a sharper design. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Vanilla Buttercream Frosting: Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened salted butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Add Powdered Sugar and Milk: Gradually add powdered sugar to the butter mixture and mix well. Add milk slowly to achieve your desired frosting consistency; it should be thick enough to hold but spreadable.
  11. Frost and Garnish Cookies: Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, place dollops of the vanilla buttercream frosting on each cooled cookie. Drizzle the top generously with maple syrup for added sweetness and flair.
  12. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the frosting to set slightly before serving these delightful waffle cookies, perfect for sharing or enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure butter is softened but not melted before creaming.
  • The wooden skewer pattern should be done just before baking to ensure distinct waffle lines.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Adjust the milk in the frosting to achieve your preferred thickness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
