Once your
waffle iron is preheated (most have a light that goes off when it's ready), use some of the extra butter to grease the iron where you'll drop the batter. Use a tablespoon to drop about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the hot iron. I use a
1 ¼-inch cookie scoop for this and it's perfect. I can fit two on each side of my waffle iron, you might be able to fit more or less. The cookies will spread a lot, but if the edges meet, they should easily separate. Close the lid and open when your waffle maker indicates they're ready (again, usually a light goes off).
