Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar until light. Beat in 1 egg and 1/4 cup corn syrup until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place one in the center of the iron. Close and cook until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    While still warm, slice each waffle horizontally with a sharp knife to create two thin layers. Spread a spoonful of caramel sauce (or honey) between the layers and press together.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with remaining dough. Serve warm for the best gooey texture, or let cool for a crispier cookie.
