Chocolate Waffle Cookies
Soft, fudgy, and laden with chocolate chips, these crowd-pleasing cookies can be ready in a flash.
Equipment
- Waffle iron
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee optional
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Dissolve instant coffee in melted butter.
- Cream together butter and sugar. Stir in eggs one at a time, beating vigorously.
- Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
- Slowly mix in flour. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake cookies as you would prepare waffles. Place approximately ½ cup of batter in waffle maker and close lid. Open lid and remove cookies once steam stops.
- Cut each waffle into quarters. Dust with powdered sugar or top with your preferred icing.
Notes
Note that this recipe utilizes a standard, full-size waffle iron. If using a mini iron or Belgian waffle iron, your results may vary.
The traditional chocolate recipe (above) tastes best when topped with a maple coffee glaze.
Variations:
- Omit instant coffee for more purely chocolate cookies (and for most of the variations below)
- Beat in 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter for a "buckeye" version
- Mix in 1-3 teaspoons of cinnamon for a "Mexican hot chocolate" version
- Swap with your favorite variety of chocolate chips; peppermint chips added to the original recipe would give you peppermint mocha cookies
