Question

Can store-bought cookie dough be used?

Qamar

Top Answerer

Yes. If you would like to make a faster batch of waffles, you can use store-bought cookie dough. It won't taste the same as the one made from scratch, but it can still work.

Warnings

Avoid making the cookie dough balls too big or the waffles will end up burning easily.

Take caution not to cook the waffles for too long or they will burn and blacken.
