Chocolate Pizzelle Cookies are a light, crisp, slightly sweet Italian waffle cookie made from flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and flavoring made using a special pizzelle cookie iron.
Beat the eggs and sugar until creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the melted butter.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cocoa and the additional 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Slowly add to the wet butter, egg, sugar mixture until combined.
Heat the pizzelle iron and spray with a non-stick baking spray.
Place about 1 Tablespoon of batter on each grid.
Close the iron and let cook for about 30 to 40 seconds.
Remove the cookies and cool on a rack.
Notes
This recipe should give you anywhere from 50 to 60 cookies. The cook time listed above is per cookie.
Make sure you preheat the iron and you spray it with non-stick cooking spray before adding the batter. And more if you notice the cookies sticking a little.
Try to place your batter just a little bit behind the center of the pattern on the iron so you can get a more even pizzelle cookie.
