We tried both chocolate chip cookie dough and sugar cookie dough in the waffle maker. The next two pictures will show you what kind of waffle iron and cookie dough we used. (L. Stolpman.)
We saw this article on Lifehacker that said you could make cookies in your waffle iron in 90 seconds.
Cookies! In 90 seconds!
We admit... we may have jumped the gun a little by not using one of the recipes suggested. Here's why: Obviously, if we're going to try to make cookies in 90 seconds, we aren't exactly patient. So we went out and bought pre-made cookie dough and then we fired up the waffle iron. Read the photo captions to hear how it went.




It's good to see the science of waffle-iron cookies being advanced, but there's much work left to do. I understand the impatience behind the packaged cookie dough ... but that isn't exactly a recipe for great cookies, even without the waffle-iron variable. Please report back on any further research.
Dan, I think you interest in this are of science is both valid and worthy of being pursued. I shall continue to fight the good fight in pursuit of good waffle cookies.

wel...at least a little white dog liked a few of the sugar cookie crummies. :-/
Yesssss. They tasted like little bits of waffle cone. Or, for little white dog, like waffle bone.
Spoiler: it didn't work.
Understatement, indeed.
It's good to know that someone who can do this:

Triumphant!
Can also fail at making cookies. Hope for the rest of us.
Thank you for sharing the experiment.
Seems about as worthy an endeavor as Mr. Homer Jay Simpson's Magic Moon Waffles.
