Light and chocolatey, these may be a little untraditional, but they are delicious. Cuisinart makes a Pizzelle Press that makes these super easy to make. Dust them with powdered sugar, or use them to make ice cream sandwiches.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 oz. very finely chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Confectioner’s sugar for dusting
- Preheat the pizzelle press on the medium setting. Brush a little melted butter on the top and bottom plates of the press.
- In a small bowl, mix flour, cocoa, chopped chocolate and baking powder with a whisk to combine.
- In a mixer or large bowl, add eggs and sugar and mix on medium speed for 1 minute until thickened.
- On low speed, add the vanilla and melted butter in a steady stream and mix until just combined.
- Add the flour mixture until just combined.
- Drop about 2 teaspoons of batter on each of the patterned cookie grids. Close and lock the lid. The light will turn red. The pizzelle should be done when the light turns green.
- Using a silicone or nylon spatula, remove each pizzelle and place on a cooling rack, stacking them as they cool.
- Dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving, or sandwich your favorite ice cream between two pizzelle for an awesome summer treat!
