Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and place it onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft.
Carefully remove the cookies from the waffle iron and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the chocolate frosting, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and the frosting is smooth. Add the milk to thin the frosting to your desired consistency, if needed.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the chocolate frosting over the tops. Let the frosting set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Waffle Iron Cookies with Chocolate Frosting!
