Ingredients
- 4 cups of flour
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gently melt the butter (make sure it doesn’t brown).
- In the bowl of your mixer put in the flour and sugar. Add the baking powder, salt and the vanilla extract.
- Mix on medium low speed and slowly add the eggs one at a time. Let mix for one minute then slowly pour in melted butter.
- Cover bowl and put in fridge for at least one hour.
- After letting the dough sit in fridge heat up waffle iron.
- Make small balls of dough and drop onto waffle iron (we did 4 at a time because we wanted them to be small but you could also do two bigger ones).
- Let bake until golden brown and remove from iron with a wooden skewer transferring onto a cooling rack. Store in a covered container.
Notes
- We did 4 at a time because we wanted them to be small but you could also do two bigger ones.
- Don't skip chilling the dough. It needs time to rest.
- These make excellent bake sale goodies. Just package them in cellophane baggies to keep them fresh.
