Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the waffle iron and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
These Chocolate Waffle Cookies are the perfect combination of crispy and chewy, with rich chocolate flavor in every bite!
