These Belgian cookies have been in the family forever. They last forever and mellow like fine wine. You must have a special waffle iron (called a krumkake iron) to bake them over a gas burner. It has two hinged plates and usually has a pretty pattern that is pressed into the cookies as they bake one by one. Have plenty of people to help with the cooking.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds all-purpose flour
- 4 ½ cups brown sugar
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons whiskey
Directions
Step 1
Beat butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, salt, and whiskey.
Step 2
Add flour in small batches and mix by hand after each addition.
Step 3
Cover and refrigerate dough overnight.
Step 4
Lightly grease and heat the cookie iron over a gas burner set to medium heat. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a small cigar-like shape. Place dough on the preheated iron and press together. Cook until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Remove cookie from the iron and let cool.
Tips
This is a family holiday tradition for us. We spend a whole day making cookies with lots of testing to make sure they're as good as last year's. We put the cookies in tins and store them till next Christmas when we eat the last year's cookies. The cast iron cookie irons work best, but I have seen people make them with the aluminum pizzelle irons. Ask for a krumkake iron at a gourmet cooking shop.
