Notes

  • Spray your waffle iron: Prevent the cookies from sticking by spraying your waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely before topping with the frosting so that it doesn’t melt.
  • Storing: Store cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to freeze them, it’s best to leave them unfrosted. Freeze for up to 3 months and be sure to thaw at room temperature before serving.
