Crispy Wafer Cookies are thin, delicate, and perfectly crunchy treats filled with a rich, creamy dulce de leche buttercream. Made using a waffle cone maker, these light wafers bake up crisp and golden, then are rolled into cones or tubes and filled for a bakery-style finish. With their irresistible crunch and smooth caramel-like filling, these cookies are ideal for holidays, dessert platters, or special homemade gifts.

Ingredients
Waffle
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2-3/4 cups granultaed sugar
- 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cream
- 12 oz unsalted butter room temperature
- 1.5 cans cooked sweetened condensed milk dulce de leche, room temperature
Instructions
- With a mixer fitted with beater blades, mix 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup water until thick dough forms. Gradually add the remaining water until you get a thin but smooth batter.
- Add 1/2 cups vegetable oil, 1/2-3/4 cups granultaed sugar, 1/4 cups heavy cream and mix until combined.
- Bake the waffle cones according to your waffle cone maker instructions, by pouring about 2 tablespoons of dough in the middle (the smaller they are, the easier it is to fill them all the way in the middle).
- Use cotton gloves to protect your fingers to wrap the baked waffles into cones or tubes (make them into cones instead of tubes, if don’t have a special pastry tip to fill the inside of the tubes).
To make the filling
- Place the butter into the mixer bowl and whip until white in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked condensed milk in 3 additions.
- Whip until smooth and no chunks of condensed milk are visible.
Filling the waffle cones/tubes
- Use a special pastry tip with a pastry bag or a ziplock bag, to fill the tubes.
- Optional – Dip ends of the cones into chopped nuts of choice.
