A cookie-like wafer shaped into a cone (sometimes the same dough or cookie is molded into a cup or another shape). Cones enable ice cream eaters to consume the treat out of hand and without a spoon. According to several sources, the first ice cream cone was created by Ernest Hamwi for the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.
Traditionally, it’s made from a cookie dough or batter which is pressed into a round, waffle-patterned sheet that is then rolled into a cone while warm. Today, there are several different styles, including waffle cones, made from a batter; sugar cones, made from a sweet dough; and wafer cones, made from a starch mixture that is molded and baked into crispy but light cone shapes. Double cones have two openings at the top of the cone to allow for two scoops of ice cream to be placed side-by-side. (The single cone is also known as a "poke" in Northern Ireland and Scotland.)
