Schuman Cheese 800.888.2433 www.yellowdoorcreamery.com New Waffle Cookie Features Flavors of Fall Specialty food producer Stonewall Kitchen highlights a winning flavor combination with its new Caramel Apple Pie Dutch Waf- fle Cookies. Made with real cinnamon and nutmeg and infused with a hint of apple, these treats join the company's excellent line of waffle cookies, which includes Cocoa Sea Salt Caramel, Maple Brown Butter and Blueberry Honey flavors. Traditionally known as stroopwafels, or "syrup waffles," these popular snacks from the Netherlands date back to 19th- century Europe and are still often sold in Dutch streets, markets and stores. Stonewall Kitchen makes the stroopwafel its own by combining it with classic New England flavors. The idea for this new va- riety came from the popularity of Stonewall Kitchen's delicious Apple Cin- namon Pancake & Waffle mix, but the in- spiration for the cookie's caramel filling was warm apple pie. With a chewy center surrounded by two crisp cookies, it brings to mind the sweet, spice- filled goodness of that most American of desserts. Simple yet de- lectable, these waffle cookies can be enjoyed straight out of the wrapper for an easy on-the-go dessert. Or, if you're feeling inspired, you can nestle a scoop of vanilla ice cream be- tween two of them for an ice cream sand- wich that's truly off the charts. And nothing beats a Caramel Apple Dutch Waffle Cookie heated to gooey perfection over a warm cup of coffee, tea or apple cider. It's the ideal pick-me-up any time of day, but especially on a cool or dreary afternoon.
