Stroopwafels are thin, crisp, waffle-like cookies that are filled with sweet caramel filling. Pronounced str-OH-hope-wah-full, which literally translates to “syrup waffle,” stroopwafels are made from a stiff, enriched dough that is pressed and cooked in a waffle cone maker. While the ingredients for stroopwafels are very simple, the method does require a bit of speed, patience and practice. Once cooked, each cookie has its edges trimmed and then is carefully sliced in half while still warm before being filled with caramel and sandwiched back together. When pouring yourself a cup of coffee or tea at the office, grab a stroopwafel and put it on a hot drink.
