…for waffle cookies:

Put soft butter together with 100 grams of sugar, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar & 1 egg in a mixing bowl and beat with a mixer for 1 – 2 minutes until creamy. Next, add 200 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to the mixing bowl and mix together until a smooth dough is formed.

Whrn done heat up a waffle iron (I used level 3 of 4 here) & grease with butter or oil if necessary. As soon as the waffle iron has heated up, give the dough into the hot waffle iron in portions (4 – 5 small dough portions) with a bit distance from each other and bake for 1 – 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Allow the finished waffle cookies to cool on a rack, use up the dough as described and bake about 50 waffle cookies.

At the same time, melt 125 grams of dark chocolate (alternatively whole milk, white chocolate or cake icing) on the stove, over a water bath or in the microwave, dip the finished waffle cookies halfway into the melted chocolate, finally decorate with sugar sprinkles and allow them to harden on baking paper. Then serve the waffle cookies or store them in a cookie container. Have fun baking!
