Stroopwafels (Dutch for "syrup waffle") are Dutch cookies made from two round waffle-like wafers with sweet syrup in the middle. They are about four inches in diameter.

Stroopwafels are an old Dutch treat, invented in Gouda in the 18th century. The traditional way to eat them is with a cup of coffee or tea. Before it is eaten, the stroopwafel is placed on top of the hot cup in order to soften it up.
