Now there is no reason not to have waffles all day long…

These waffle cookies remind me of fresh-made waffles and ice cream at the board boardwalk,

I’m not sure why….it must be the sweet smell of them baking or that slightly sweet lemony taste of lemonade I recall getting there too.

I have always loved waffles but have always really loved them with ice cream,

until making these waffle cookies. I will say the reason all the cookies didn’t make it in the photos is…

I ATE THEM.

And a must-make all winter long!   

These are easy to make and the kids can help because they don’t need to be perfect at all.

You have probably seen these types of cookies numerous times.

They are often known as

• Italian Tea Cake Cookies
• Russian Wedding Cookies
• Mexican Wedding Cookies

These cookies come together easily.

I use a stand mixer,

if you have trouble with the dough coming together if it does not seem moist or too crumbly to have it stick together. Add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream in the cookie dough. It will come together easily and make rolling into balls easier if the dough is too dry and crumbly (often this happens with store brand butter, it has a little more water) the dough should  stick together easily when pinched.

I call them Snowballs, simply because they remind me of snowballs, and a whole plate full of them makes me think of making a bunch of snowballs as a kid getting ready for a big snowball fight!

Add whatever type of nut you like to these I use walnuts. But these can easily be made with pecans or almonds as well.

These are certainly more fun to eat than snow,

but they disappear as quickly as the snow does on a sunny day!

Ingredients:

• butter
• powdered sugar
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• walnuts
• vanilla

Can I use a different nut in these cookies?

Absolutely! You can use pecans, pistachios, almonds, or macadamias, and if you want an alternative to nuts use mini chocolate chips.
