Stroopwafels

We like to stoopwafel it up over here. They are a cookie that is sold on the street in Holland and from what our cousin says, England as well. It's basically a waffle type cookie with a carmel filling. They are super tasty.

For my birthday my sisters got me a Pizelle maker. We have been using it to make stroopwafels. We have tried 2 recipes, the first was the right flavor for the middle filling but wrong for the waffle outside. The second one (that we got from Melissa my dutch cousin) was the right taste on the outside but too soft at first but then turns crunchy on the outside. We're ging to try to mix the two recipes together for our third try to see if they turn out just right :)

Anyways here are pictures of our fist go at it.

Kristin had to cut the thin cookie in half while it was hot and burned the crud out of her fingers doing it.

Matt enjoying Kristins hard work, all I did was roll the balls and put them in the pizelle :)

I told Matt to look that excited... he was that excited though, they were pretty darn close but we want them spot on!

In other news someone is walking through our house today with our Property Management company, lets hope that A) they like it and want to rent it and B) that they aren't smokers (it's only allowed outside but still) with HUGE pets that are going to ruin our house... We're praying it's a cute newlywed couple that is very good of taking care of things!
