Stroopwafels

I found a stovetop waffle-cookie maker at a charity sale recently. I hadn't realized that I wanted one, but for $2 I couldn't resist.

And so, stroopwafels!

For the wafers, I used the yeast stroopwafels recipe on this page, minus the egg. (One third of the recipe made 10 wafers -- each dough ball was about 28 grams. They were a bit bigger than the circumference of a mug -- just the right size for the traditional trick of perching them over a cup of tea or coffee to warm up a bit.)

For the caramel filling, I used Hannah's recipe. (I halved it, which was more than enough for 5 cookies.)

These were really delicious. I liked that they were not as sweet as other ones I've had. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the cookie maker was to use -- even though I have an annoying electric stovetop, it wasn't too hard to get the temperature right. Maybe ice cream cones are next...
