Chocolate chip cookies cooked on a waffle iron: baking fail

Chocolate Chip Waffle Cookies

The idea seemed simple enough: use a waffle iron to make waffle cookies and then drizzle chocolate on top. We decided to try this experiment. My standard chocolate chip recipe was used with the exception of the chocolate chips which were to be melted and drizzled on after.

We set the waffle iron on the lowest setting to begin (and intended to adjust higher if needed during subsequent trials)

Trial 1 Results: Catastrophic Failure

Further trials were suspended as a result of trial 1's disaster

Speculations of what led to the accident:
  • Waffle iron was not greased before adding dough
  • Dough may need to be thicker (higher flour content?) for desired results
  • Human error
Thankfully the remainder of the dough was quickly converted into normal chocolate chip cookies and enjoyed
