French Cookies (Belgi Galettes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the dark brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. (Approximately 5 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated. (Approximately 3 minutes)

Recipe View Slowly incorporate the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. (Approximately 7 minutes)

Recipe View Place the bowl over a hot water bath and stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the dough is slightly warmed. (Approximately 5 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the dough to rest and flavors to meld.

Recipe View The next day, preheat your galette or pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Recipe View Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.

Recipe View Place each dough ball in the center of the preheated galette iron. Close the iron and cook until the cookies are golden brown and crisp.

Recipe View Cooking time will vary depending on your iron. For an electric galette iron, this may take about 30 seconds. For a handheld iron over medium heat, it may take 2 to 4 minutes.
