Gadettes
Chill: 2 hrs
Bake: 3 mins per batch
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon bourbon or brandy (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
Directions
1. Place melted butter in a large bowl and let cool. With an electric mixer on medium to high speed, beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in bourbon, if you like, and vanilla. Beat in sugars until well combined. Gradually beat in flour and salt until well combined.
2. Cover and chill dough at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
3. Preheat waffle baker. Drop dough from a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop, or drop by rounded teaspoonfuls into center of each waffle grid; close lid. (Make about 4 cookies at a time, leaving about 2 inches between dough mounds.) Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Using a fork, transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Repeat with remaining batter. If you like, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Makes about 25 cookies.
If someone could comment on if you can really only keep for 2 days and are they a soft or crunchy cookie. Thanks.

Her recipe called for equal quantites of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs (8 large) plus 1 tsp. each of vanilla and almond extract. I also inherited her cast iron 15+ lb French waffle-type iron to cook them, held by hand over a stove burner and turned when the first side is done. I have made this recipe at least once a year since my father willed the recipe and iron to me in 1981.
