Waffled Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies  (makes 24+ cookies)
(from The Wafflizer)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soada
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup quick-cook oats
3/4 cup semi-sweet mini-chocolate chips (regular size are too big to work well)

Method:
1. Preheat waffle iron.
2. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar until smooth.  Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
3. Stir in all remaining ingredients, mixing well.
4. Spray the waffle iron grids with nonstick spray or brush with oil.
5. Using a small scoop place a small amount of dough onto each waffle section (some waffle makers have only one section, some have two and others have four.)
6. Close the waffle iron and cook until the dough is set and just beginning to brown. (Mine took 1 minute and 10 seconds — some may take 2-3 minutes)
7. Remove carefully from the grids. Cookies will be soft. (I used wooden bagel tongs and a flexible spatula.) Transfer to wire racks.
8. If desired, drizzle with ganache or light mix of chocolate frosting.

I am one of those people that cannot face my day without a hearty breakfast and when waffles are on the menu, I am one of those people that cannot exercise any self restraint. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a pat of salty butter with sticky sweet maple syrup…it’s waffle heaven. Of course the beginning of any good waffle recipe is the batter, waffle maker , and waffle stand cooling rack . This recipe from Better Home and Garden via Apartment Therapy is an interesting one—these waffles are called “overnight yeasted waffles” and are less sweet and less dense than traditional waffles.

ingredients

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 package active dry yeast

1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1-3/4 cups milk

2 eggs

1/3 cup cooking oil or butter, melted

directions

1. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, yeast, vanilla (if desired), and salt; add milk, eggs, and oil. Beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined. Cover batter loosely and chill overnight or up to 24 hours.

2. Stir batter. Pour about 3/4 cup batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle maker (I like the Cuisinart Nonstick Waffle Iron). Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to manufacturer’s directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm. Discard any remaining batter. Makes about 16 (4-inch) waffles.
