- 1 1/4 cups warm milk
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter softened or lightly melted
- 1 egg
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Cookie Dough
- 1 1/2 cups butter softened (3/4 cup for the dough and 3/4 cup for the filling)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour for the cookie dough
- 1/4 teaspoon salt for the cookie dough
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Assembly Ingredients
- 6-12 waffles depending on size
- 6-12 scoops chocolate ice cream
- Warm hot fudge optional
Instructions
Prepare the Waffle Batter
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened butter, egg, and the frothy yeast mixture. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Cook the Waffles
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until you've made 6-12 waffles, depending on size.
Make the Cookie Dough
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- Once your waffles have cooled slightly, take one waffle and spread a generous layer of cookie dough on top.
- Add a scoop of chocolate ice cream, then place another waffle on top, creating a sandwich. Repeat for remaining waffles and filling.
Serve and Enjoy
- For an extra touch, drizzle warm hot fudge over the assembled sandwiches just before serving. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures!
Notes
- Allow the yeast mixture to become frothy to ensure proper rise in your waffle batter.
- Use room temperature ingredients for the cookie dough to achieve the best texture and flavor.
- Let waffles cool slightly before assembling to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Store leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to one week.
- Reheat frozen sandwiches in a toaster or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
