I was fortunate when I got married that I not only gained a husband, I also gained an amazing family of in-laws. Honestly, I could not have hand picked better in-laws and not many people can say that. Anyway, my mother-in-law is a fantastic home cook. Her and I regularly enjoy getting ideas on what to cook from one another. For our wedding, I even made a recipe book of their family recipes, my family recipes, and some of my own recipes. And I love having that access to the recipes she’s cooked for her family throughout the years.
For my husband’s birthday this year, she made him these waffle iron cookies. He posted an image of them on Facebook and they got quite a popular response. I knew I just had to feature them on my blog. I had never heard of such a thing… Making cookies with a waffle iron? But honestly, it’s so clever! Imagine in the summertime when you don’t want to heat the oven up, these cookies would be perfect! They are fun and easy on top of it. I hope you enjoy! And give my mother-in-law, Mary, some love for allowing me to share her recipe!

I love all the videos you are doing. I have done a little “non-traditional” waffle baking. It is amazing how fast your favorite cookies or cinnamon rolls bake in a waffle iron. I’ll have to try this recipe out!
