Chocolate Waffle Cookies

Well, I had no intention of making two kinds of cookies today, however..... I promised the kids cookies after lunch (that means the moment after they've swallowed the last bite of their sandwich to them) and the Root Beer Cookie dough is chilling. So I thought I better make sure and keep my promise. This recipe came to mind! My mother-in-law makes these cookies all the time and everyone LOVES them. I've always told myself I didn't like them enough to want to make them (but I lied). I have only tried these once, and that was nearly 12 years ago. They stuck to my waffle iron and totally irritated me, so I swore I'd never make them again. Well, come a little bit closer because I have a secret to tell you..... are you ready??? I CONQUERED WAFFLE COOKIES!!!! And you can too! Your family and friends (or just you) will love the soft and moist chocolatiness (I know, it's not a word) of these cookies! Just follow the directions and I think you'll be just fine!

First of all, if you have an older waffle iron, USE IT! The more seasoned it is, the better! I plug in my waffle iron and get it heated real well while I'm mixing up the dough. Then I take a little bowl and pour about 3-4 Tablespoons of oil in it and use a pastry brush (I like a silicone pastry brush because they don't leave hairs behind :-)) to grease the waffle maker plates between each and every little "batch" of cookies! If you forget this step, you'll know it!

First, cream together:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup margarine

Then add:

2 eggs

Beat well.

Now add:

1/2 cup milk

1 3/4 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup baking cocoa

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

Mix well and drop by spoonfuls ( I use a cookie scoop of course, a medium sized one) onto your prepared HOT well-greased waffle iron! I wait until they stop steaming. Then pull them out CAREFULLY using a fork to lift them off the iron. Cool completely on a rack. With the medium cookie scoop, I got 22 cookies.

Now for the glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

3-4 Tbsp milk

1/2-1 tsp vanilla

Mix well and drizzle over cooled cookies with a pastry brush. Let set and ENJOY!!!

Happy Cooking!
