'syrup waffle') is a thin, round cookie made from two layers of sweet baked dough held together by syrup filling.

[3][4] First made in the city of Gouda in South Holland, stroopwafels are a well-known Dutch treat popular throughout the Netherlands and abroad.

The wafers of a stroopwafel are made from a stiff dough of flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs that has been pressed in a hot waffle iron until crisp.

[a] While still warm, the waffles have their edges removed with a cookie cutter, which allows the remaining disc to be easily separated into top and bottom wafers.

A filling made from syrup, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (also warm) is spread between the wafers before the waffle is reassembled.
