Belgian Cookies

My Grandma and I made Belgian cookies today. I remember eating them as a kid. They make the yummiest ice-cream sandwiches! And they're super easy to make, so long as you have the Cookie Iron. The ingredients are as follows:

4 sticks of butter
5 eggs
4 tablespoons of vanilla
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
6 cups of flower, and
1 teaspoon of salt.

Now, the cookie iron is pretty much essential for these cookies. I suppose it might work with a regular waffle iron, but I can't imagine they'd turn out quite the same. What you'd need is an Electric Belgian Cookie and Waffle Iron. You can order it for like $60 or $70 on Amazon. So, I guess if for some crazy reason you have $70 burning a whole in your pocket and you just HAVE to spend it, I'd recommend blowing it on this. It's pretty much amazing! It's electric, but it doesn't have a timer on it so you just have to keep checking if the cookies are done or not.

Once the dough is made you freeze it for about an hour. Not so that it's rock hard, but enough that it keeps its shape better. After it's "chilled" you roll it into little balls and then place them in the center of the greased cookie iron (which should already be hot by time you get to that point, you should just plug it in and let it heat up). When the cookies are slightly 'browned' or however you like, you just take a fork and flip it into your hands. They'll, of course, be hot so you'll want a cookie rack ready to put the cookies on. Once they've cooled you can stick some ice cream in the middle and freeze them or just eat them plain. Either way, they're are very good!
