Dutch stroopwafels are thin waffle cookies filled with caramel. They're popular with people of all nationalities, so I translated this Dutch recipe into English.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Cookies:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ⅛ cups butter, melted

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup warm milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast

  • cooking spray

Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups molasses

  • 1 ⅓ cups packed brown sugar

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  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.

Recipe Tip

Don't wait too long to split the cookies in Step 4, or they will break. If you can't split them because they are too thin, sandwich the filling between two cookies.
