Galettes

These cookies are made with a special galette iron. If you don't have one, try a pizzelle iron. One reader tells us that even a waffle iron works fine. You can also occasionally find them on eBay.

1 lb butter, melted
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or rum flavoring
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 cups flour

Sift flour and baking powder and mix in rest of ingredients. Chill dough. Drop spoonfuls on a pre-heated iron. Hold over hot stove and bake on each side for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes.

Would make this again.
My family from Belgium settled in WV and there were 3 covetted irons in the family. I used one of them for years but the last few years I have been using a regular waffle iron. Don't tell but they come out just as well. five stars

I love these cookies. They are my favorite to make. I make them in a waffle iron so I can make 4-6 at a time. They do take time to make but are well worth it! five stars

My girlfriend made waffle cookies that were sandwiched with a layer of to-die-for butter cream in the middle. Does anybody have that recipe, or know what I am talking about? five stars

Galettes are actually French in origin. My aunt, whose family was from Belgium, introducted them to my mom who now makes them every Christmas on the gas stove with a handmade galette iron and my aunt's recipe. They are fabulous. five stars
