What You’ll Need:

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup Safe + Fair Remy’s Grahams cracker crumbs, finely crushed
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

What You’ll Do…

1. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl, beat the egg until frothy. Add the brown sugar and continue beating until the mixture turns a pale yellow. Then, mix in the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined.

2. Combine with Dry Ingredients
Gently stir in the finely crushed Remy’s Grahams crumbs and sifted flour. Mix just until everything comes together—avoid overmixing to keep your cones tender.

3. Let the Batter Rest
Allow the batter to sit for 10–15 minutes. This resting time lets the flavors meld and the graham cracker crumbs soften, resulting in a better texture.

4. Bake the Cones
If you have a waffle cone maker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for baking. No waffle cone maker? No problem! Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a baking sheet and spread about 1 tablespoon of batter into a 6-inch circle. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the batter is set.

5. Shape the Cones
Work quickly while the cookies are still warm and pliable. Remove one at a time and wrap it around a cone mold or an inverted small bowl to form the classic cone shape. Place the shaped cone in a glass to hold its form as it cools and hardens.
