Gaufrettes ~ French-style Waffle Cookies with Salted Caramel Filling


Not quite authentic, but close enough for me...

Tender-crisp vanilla waffle cookies with cinnamon caramel filling and a kiss of coarse sea salt ~ they are very easy to make if you have a stovetop or electric pizelle iron.
Simply mix up the thick dough, allow it to rest, then roll into balls and bake in the hot pizelle maker.

The filling is simply brown sugar, a little corn syup, butter, cinnamon and coarse sea salt, cooked to the soft ball stage on a candy thermometer.


The thin, rich caramel filling stays soft ~ these cookies are superb with a cup of hot coffee or tea.

If you would like the recipe, there is a printable version my alternate blog

Thank you for stopping by!
