Ingredients:

For the Waffle Cookies:

- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed

- 1 large egg

- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk

- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 2 1/2 cups (320g) all-purpose flour

For the Caramel Syrup:

- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed

- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter

- 1/4 cup (60ml) light corn syrup

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

  - In a bowl, combine the yeast with the milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  - In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  - Beat in the egg, then mix in the yeast mixture.

  - Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.

  - Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Make the Caramel Syrup:

  - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Form and Bake the Waffle Cookies:

  - Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  - Divide the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Flatten each ball slightly and place it in the waffle iron. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

  - While still warm, use a knife or spatula to carefully split the waffle cookies in half horizontally. Spread a generous layer of caramel syrup between the halves, then press together gently.

Cool and Serve:

  - Allow the Stroopwafels to cool completely before serving. Enjoy these sweet, chewy treats with a cup of coffee or tea.
