GLAZED WAFFLE COOKIES
One of my best buds only eats waffles when she's very happy. ("We need waffles--I got the job!" or, "It's so nice out today, we should get waffles.") So I created this recipe for her--and for anyone else looking for a little happy in their day; it's super-fast and easy. If you want to get fancy, you can make a few different fruit glazes to tint your cookies with different colors and flavors.

Steps:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron with nonstick spray. Keep the spray handy and occasionally reapply it between batches.
- Meanwhile, make the cookie batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well to incorporate each one. Beat in the vanilla.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold into the butter mixture, mixing just until fully incorporated.
- Working in batches, use a No. 60 (1-tablespoon) scoop or spoon to place 1-tablespoon mounds of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, then close the iron. Bake the cookies until golden on both sides and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the cookies from the iron and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter. Cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Combine the berries, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan; bring the mixture to a simmer and cook over medium heat until the berries break down, 10 to 12 minutes. Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to crush the berries. When the berries are very soft and have released their juices, strain the juices through a strainer set over a medium bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Add the powdered sugar to the juice and whisk until a smooth glaze forms.
- One at a time, dunk the cooled cookies into the glaze, shake off the excess glaze (glaze that pools in the nooks and crannies won't set very well), and invert the cookies onto a wire rack--the glaze will set in 10 to 15 minutes.
