Here's a recipe I found:

Making Your Own Waffle Cones
March 15, 2011 - Malcolm Stogo

I will be very frank with you. I have never been a big proponent of making your own waffle cones. But that is my bias from running a large volume establishment years ago. My reasons were simple. We could not bake enough in a given day to satisfy the demand. For that reason, we went to a pre-made waffle cone and from selling 300 baked cones to 3,000 a day. But I do understand why many individual small shops bake their own. It’s the need to attract customers and add to the overall atmosphere – the smell of a freshly baked cone does make the shop a warmer place. It definitely works! So if you want to make your waffle cones, why not do it from scratch.
Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:
3/4 stick sweet butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon water
3 egg whites
1/2 cup flour

Preparation:
- Melt the butter slowly
- Beat the egg whites and add the sugar to them
- Combine the egg white mixture with the butter mixture
- Add the vanilla extract and water
- Add the flour to the above mixtures, blend well.
- Let the batter stand for one hour

The waffle cone baker is now ready for baking. At this point, simply follow the instructions for using your waffle cone maker.

Yield: 8-10 cones

Ice Cream Cone Recipes
The hot waffles or wafers made from the following waffle cone recipes may be rolled onto cone-shaped forms for use as ice cream cones, or pressed into muffin tins to make edible dessert cups.

Cone-shaped forms on which to roll the hot waffles can be easily made of stiff cardboard and covered with heavy aluminium foil to prevent the wafers from sticking.
