At Christmas make gingerbread cookie dough waffles, at Valentine’s make chocolate chocolate chip mint cookie dough waffles, at Easter make sugar cookie dough waffles.
Even better, make cornflake crunch cookie dough and make cereal waffles!
This recipe is super diverse to please everyone!
Can I Make The Cookie Dough in Advance?
Yes!
After making the cookie dough discs, place discs individually on a cookie sheet and stick them in the freezer until solid. Once frozen, move to a Ziploc bag to consolidate.
The cookie dough discs don’t need to thaw completely before adding them to the waffle iron, however, they should be somewhat malleable.
If you thaw them all the way however, they may be hard to separate if they are fully thawed inside the bag. I recommend taking them out of the bag and putting them on a plate or cookie sheet individually when you prepare to make your waffle batter.
Can I Freeze Cookie Dough Waffles?
The cookie dough waffles can also be made in advance and frozen for later enjoyment. Simply make the waffles as instructed and freeze individually. Then pull out as many waffles as you want and heat them up when you are ready to eat!
If you heat them up in the microwave, they will be slightly chewy and soft. If you heat them up in the oven, they will be more crispy. Personally, I like to take each triangle and toast it lightly in the toaster before eating!
What Waffle Iron Do You Use?
For this cookie dough waffle recipe, I used a classic round Oster Waffle Iron. They are cheap, they are reliable, and they work great!
The waffle iron I want though, is the heavy duty 4 square All-Clad Belgian Waffle Maker. I have a friend who uses this waffle iron and it produces the most crispy, perfectly cooked waffles you’ve ever seen! Plus each square is a respectable size, and by respectable size I mean no one is complaining about it.
What is Chocolate Maple Syrup?
It’s simply chocolate syrup combined with maple syrup! I use a 50/50 ratio and heat it in a little saucepan stirring to combine!
