Stroopwafel Cookies Recipe

When it comes to baking, I love to explore different cultures and their staple baking products. Doing this makes me learn about so many unique recipes from around the world. 

One such recipe I can across was Stroopwafel cookies. These are famous Dutch cookies with thin waffle-shaped cookies made and sandwiched using salted caramel. They taste as delicious as they sound! 

 

Stroopwafel is made using all-purpose flour, butter, yeast, sugar, milk, and egg. Since they are pretty thin, they are crispy! The unique part is that they are not baked in the oven but made in a waffle cone maker machine. 

To make these cookies, you will find one particular piece of equipment, which is the waffle cone-making machine. It’s not the same as a waffle maker, as that has a deeper design for making waffles. So, you will have to get the one used for making ice cream cones and has a check (waffle) design that isn’t as deep. 

These cookies are traditionally eaten with salted caramel; they definitely taste heavenly. 

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • New and Unique: This cookie is quite different from the type of cookies we are used to eating. The cookies are pleasantly thin, crispy, and sandwiched between delicious caramel filling.
  • Flavor: the cookies themselves are flavored with cinnamon. This, paired with salted caramel, brings out the best flavor of the cookie. Trust me; you will make them quite often after trying them for the first time.
  • Easy to Follow: the steps involved in the making process are not complex. So, you can easily follow the recipe and make these scrumptious cookies in no time. Also, you get to learn to work with a whole new machine-ice cream cone maker.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

Let’s talk about some of the ingredients that are a must to make Stroopwafel cookies. 

  • Butter: Butter provides not only taste but also texture in a cookie. The right amount of butter or fat will help the cookie get the crispness it needs. 
  • Eggs and milk: these two products provide flavor, color, moisture, and structure to the cookies. 
  • Yeast: stroopwafel is one such cookie that uses yeast as a leavening agent. Although the cookies are made thin, yeast provides the required rise to the dough, and this affects the final taste and texture of the cookie. 
  • Cinnamon: The traditional cookie recipe has cinnamon powder which complements well with salted caramel. 
  • Caramel: salted caramel is used as a filling to sandwich two stroopwafel cookies. Hence the flavor you finally get while eating it is that of yummy caramel. 

How To Make Stroopwafel Cookies

  • Preparation: You will be making two elements, i.e., the cookies and their filling. So, collect the ingredients and equipment required to complete both elements.
Method For Stroopwafel Cookie Dough
  • Dry Ingredients: collect all dry ingredients – flour, sugar, cinnamon powder, and yeast in a bowl. Give this a mix.
  • Make Dough: Add eggs and milk to the above dry ingredients mixture and knead to make a dough. Add melted butter and continue to knead till everything combines well. Rest the dough for one hour.
  • Shaping: Divide the dough into balls weighing 20g each. You will have approximately 20 balls.
  • Bake: Now prepare the machine by heating it to medium-high heat. Place a ball of dough in the machine and press until it is pretty thin. Cook it for about 2 minutes or until it gets golden brown. Remove the cookie from the machine and cut it with a 7cm round cookie cutter to give it the shape. Keep aside to cool.

Method For Caramel
  • Heat Sugar: Start making caramel by heating sugar in a saucepan until it’s amber in color. This could take a few minutes; do not stir the sugar, as stirring will seize it.
  • Add Cream: Once the sugar has melted and reached the amber color stage, add in the warm cream and mix well. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful while doing this step. 
  • Add Butter: Finally, add butter to the caramel and mix it well. In the end, add salt. Let the caramel cool down, then transfer it to a piping bag.

Method For Assembly
  • Make Cookie Sandwich: Take one stroopwafel cookie and pipe some caramel in the middle of the cookie. Place another cookie over it and press it so the caramel spreads to the edges.

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip For Shaping Cookies

Once cooked and removed from the waffle cone maker, cut the cookie immediately when it’s still hot to get the desired shape. Waiting for it to cool will harden the cookie, and you will not be able to cut it later. 

Tip For Caramel

Work carefully when making caramel. The sugar should not seize, so it’s important to stir well after adding cream and butter.

Flavor Variations

You can use any other filling in place of caramel. E.g., you can make a vanilla ice cream sandwich or have a ganache filling.

 

How To Store Stroopwafel Cookies

The unassembled baked cookies can be stored in an airtight box in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can freshly assemble them as and when you wish to eat.

Caramel should be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator. You can microwave it a little or thaw it at room temperature to use for the cookies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Stroopwafel and pizzelle cookies?

Both Stroopwafel and pizzelle are a form of thin waffle cookies. However, pizzella is an Italian cookie that can be consumed alone or without a filling. It can also be rolled into a cannoli. Whereas, Stroopwafel cookies are of Dutch origin and are consumed as sandwich cookies with caramel filling. 

Are waffles and Stroopwafel the same? 

Absolutely NO. Both are very different desserts. Waffles have a thin batter cooked in a waffle maker. Also, it is not a cookie but a dessert that is crisp on the outside and soft inside. Stroopwafel is a thin cookie, eaten as a sandwich and made using a waffle cone-making machine. 

What to do if stroopwafel cookies get soft or soggy? 

First, make sure you are storing them in a cool, dry place in an airtight box. If they turn soft, just bake them in the oven for a few minutes at 170C. Let them cool down, and they shall turn crispy again. 

What’s the filling for Stroopwafel? 

Traditionally, caramel-like syrup uses brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, and vanilla. You can use simple salted caramel as well. If you want variations, you can use ganache or Ice-cream as one of the fillings. 

Can I make Stroopwafel cookie dough ahead of time and store it for later use? 

Yes! Just like any other cookie dough, Stroopwafel cookie dough can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

Can I bake these cookies in an oven instead of a waffle cone maker machine? 

Unfortunately, no. Since they have a particular shape and way of being eaten, it is only recommended to use the cone-making machine.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
