Trubochki are delicate, crispy rolled wafer cookies filled with luscious buttercream, a traditional Eastern European treat perfect for holidays and special occasions.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your pizzelle press or electric wafer cookie maker.
  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until light and foamy.
  3. Add melted butter, vanilla, salt, and flour. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour about 1 tablespoon of batter into the press and cook for 30–60 seconds or until golden brown.
  5. Immediately wrap the hot wafer around a metal cannoli mold or spoon handle to form a tube. Let cool and set. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. To make the filling, whip softened butter until fluffy.
  7. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Fill a piping bag with the cream and pipe into both ends of each cooled wafer shell.
  9. Lightly dust the filled Trubochki with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Work quickly when shaping the wafers—they harden fast as they cool.
  • Use a metal cannoli mold or wooden spoon handle for consistent shaping.
  • Filled cookies are best enjoyed the same day for maximum crispness.
