Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Red Velvet Waffle Cookies:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder: This adds a subtle chocolate flavor, essential for authentic red velvet.
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened: Ensures a rich, tender cookie.
• 1 cup sugar: Provides sweetness to balance the cocoa.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: Enhances all the flavors.
• 3 eggs: Adds structure and richness.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For a fragrant, sweet undertone.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons red food coloring: Gives the cookies their iconic red hue.
• Cooking spray: Prevents sticking in the waffle iron.

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened: The star of the glaze, offering a tangy contrast.
• 1 cup powdered sugar: Sweetens and thickens the glaze.
• 1/2 cup milk: Adjusts the glaze consistency.
• Pinch salt: Balances the sweetness.

Optional Extras:

• Red and pink sprinkles: For that festive touch.
• Whipped cream for garnish: To add an extra layer of indulgence.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Batter:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Set this mixture aside.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth. This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes, ensuring a fluffy and light texture.

3. Incorporate Eggs and Flavorings: Turn the mixer to medium speed and add the 3 eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 1/2 teaspoons of red food coloring until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Set the mixer to low speed and slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. The batter will be sticky, which is perfect for creating moist waffle cookies.

Baking the Waffle Cookies:

5. Preheat and Prepare Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron, lightly spray with cooking spray, and set the temperature to medium-high (about 400 degrees F).

6. Cook the Cookies: Add about a tablespoon of dough to each section of the waffle iron. Allow them to “bake” for 2-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool and crisp up.

Making the Cream Cheese Glaze:

7. Beat Ingredients: In a bowl, beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

8. Adjust Consistency: Slowly incorporate the milk into the mixture until you reach your desired glaze consistency. You may not need to use all of the milk.

Assembling and Serving:

9. Glaze the Cookies: Dip the tops of each cooled waffle cookie into the cream cheese glaze and return them to the wire rack.

10. Add Final Touches: Decorate with red and pink sprinkles and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
