Using the preheated krumkake iron, place 1 tablespoon of batter onto each krumkake mold, using a second spoon to scrape off the batter. Close the krumkake iron and cook until the iron stops steaming and the cookies are golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Carefully peel the krumkake cookie from the iron and, while still hot, wrap it around a wooden krumkake cone to form the traditional cone shape. Hold in place until set, about 10 seconds, then remove and cool completely on waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter.
