Belgian waffle cookies are one of my favorite treats to buy from the store. But that definitely gets pricey over time and also, it is almost impossible to find an organic one in the stores. I decided I would venture to figure out how to make them on my own! In my research, I discovered they are called Lukkens. I found a press to make them and my husband graciously bought it for me for my birthday last year! (Check the equipment below for a link to the press we have and recommend.) I have never had a pizzelle before, but I am told they are similar and you could use the pizzelle press, if you have one already.
After we got the press, next came the experimenting to find the best Belgian waffle cookie recipe. No one in the family complained about being a taste tester! We think this is the best recipe for our family!
If you have had stroopwafels, you can make them by slicing these cookies in half and filling them! We love those as well, but that is another blog post.
If you love Belgian waffle cookies as much as I do, you MUST give them a try!

Remove with tongs and place on cooling rack.
Cookies will harden as they cool.

Notes
- The dough keeps well in the fridge in an air tight container. Let the dough come to room temperature before you try to scoop it onto the press because it will be really stiff.
