Sugar Cookie Waffle Sticks

Directions

1. 1
   For the waffles:
2. 2
   Preheat your Bella Waffle Stick Maker according to manufacturer's instructions. I know Babycakes makes one also or you can use a regular waffle maker. .
3. 3
   Mix together milk and vinegar in a small bowl or cup and set aside for a few minutes while it curdles (a replacement for buttermilk).
4. 4
   In a medium bowl, mix together the dry sugar cookie mix, baking powder, cornstarch and sugar. Then add the eggs, butter, oil, and curdled milk. Mix until completely blended, using a whisk or a hand mixer.
5. 5
   Use a piping bag, a Ziplock bag with tip cut off, or a pancake pen and fill each waffle reservoir flush to the rim with the batter. Bake for about 3-4 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a waffle comes out clean.
6. 6
   Place hot waffles on a cooling rack with a piece of wax paper underneath and repeat making the rest of the waffles. When done, allow them to cool and prepare the glaze.
7. 7
   For the glaze:
8. 8
   In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vegetable shortening and food coloring until smooth.
9. 9
   Dip the tips of each cooled waffle in the mixture, then place back on the cooling rack until the glaze is dry. If using them, add your sprinkles before the glaze dries to be sure they will stick.
