Stroopwafels

Delicious Dutch cookies made with a sweet filling of molasses and brown sugar, sandwiched between two soft cookies.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour (4 cups)
  • butter (1.125 cups)
  • white sugar (0.75 cup)
  • warm milk (0.25 cup)
  • egg (1 large)
  • active dry yeast (2 (.25 ounce) envelopes)
  • cooking spray (0 )
  • molasses (1.5 cups)
  • packed brown sugar (1.333333 cups)
  • unsalted butter (0.333333 cup)
  • ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Start the cookies: Mix flour, melted butter, sugar, warm milk, egg, and yeast together in a large bowl. When dough becomes too stiff to stir, turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a few minutes. Set aside to rise for 45 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: Heat molasses, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat until warm. Stir to blend and set aside.
  3. Preheat a pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and spray with cooking spray.
  4. Finish the cookies: Knead dough briefly, then divide into twelve pieces. Roll each piece into a 2-inch ball. Press one ball at a time in the center of the preheated pizzelle iron. Close the iron and cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the iron and carefully cut warm cookie in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread filling on the inside and sandwich the two halves back together. Repeat to cook and fill remaining cookies.
