STROOP WAFEL HERS
Ingredients
Original recipe makes 12 servings
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/8 cups butter, melted
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm milk
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups molasses
• 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, melted butter, sugar, yeast, milk and egg. When the dough becomes to stiff to stir, turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a few minutes. Set aside to rise for 45 minutes.
2. To make the filling, heat the molasses, brown sugar, remaining butter and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to blend, and set aside.
3. Preheat a pizzelle iron. Knead the dough briefly, and divide the dough into 2 inch balls, or a size compatible with your pizzelle iron pattern. Press the balls in the preheated iron, and cook until the iron stops releasing steam, or until the waffles are golden brown.
4. Carefully remove with a knife or spatula, and split in half horizontally (like pocket bread) while they are still warm. Don't wait too long, otherwise they will break. Spread filling on the insides, and put the halves back together.
Food color, if desired
Directions
Combine flour, butter and whipping cream in small bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Divide dough into thirds; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours).
Heat oven to 375° F. Roll out dough on well-floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Dip both sides of each cookie in sugar. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets; prick all over with fork.
Bake for 6 to 9 minutes or until slightly puffy but not browned. Cool slightly; carefully remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
Combine all filling ingredients except milk or juice and food color in small bowl. Beat at medium speed, gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. If desired, tint filling with food color. Carefully put cookies together in pairs with 1/2 teaspoon filling for each sandwich cookie.

Ingredients
• 2 1/4 cups flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup almond paste
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup jam (apricot, blackberry, or raspberry)
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 4 teaspoons whole milk
Cook's Note
This dough can be prepped and frozen up to a week in advance. Just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
Directions
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a food processor, pulse almond paste and sugar until smooth. Add butter and eggs and blend until smooth. Add flour mixture and pulse until dough forms. Divide into 4 equal pieces, wrap in plastic, and chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface roll each piece into a 10-inch log. Transfer logs to two parchment-lined baking sheets and flatten to about 2 inches across. Bake until just dry, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from oven; with the handle of a wooden spoon, make a trench down each log. Spread 2 tablespoons jam into each trench. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
Whisk together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over logs. Let glaze harden, 20 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut logs on the diagonal into 1-inch slices. (Store in airtight containers, up to 1 week.
