I went on a hunt for the best stroop wafel in Amsterdam. It was the greatest endeavor ever! Stroop wafel are those waffle-like sandwich cookies with a caramel layer in the middle. The cookies are stamped together while hot so you get a very thin, firm-yet-chewy cookie. Most bakeries have them, as well as supermarkets, and some restaurants. You can even find stroop wafel vendors making them fresh on the sidewalk. So so good.

Banketbakkerij-Tearoom Lanskroon has the best stroop wafel. Trust me. The cookie part lacks the waffle pattern, but that's more than made up for by the buttery, caramelly goodness of these. And they're large. They also have different flavors. I think I remember a honey-caramel version and a coffee-flavored version. Delish. Definitely make it a priority.

Their truffles are also mouthwatering. I didn't try anything else; if you have, please do tell.
