Chocolate Pizzelle Recipe
cookies
This Chocolate Pizzelle Recipe is a twist on the classic Italian cookies. This delicate cookie is easy to make with a pizzelle iron and is a beautiful addition to any cookie tray or special occasion.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted and completely cooled
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
- powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
- Melt butter and set aside to cool completely. Preheat the pizzelle Iron and spray with cooking spray, if needed. *See Note.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 4 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons sugar until light in color, about 3 minutes. Add the cooled 3/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and mix well.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until just blended. Fold in the remaining flour mixture and combine until just mixed.
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the center of pizzelle pattern and close. Bake for about 1 - 1 ½ minutes or until golden. Times will vary depending on the pizzelle iron you are using.
- Carefully remove with a spatula and place on a wire rack to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
Instead of spraying the Pizzelle iron with cooking spray, I find that wiping the top and bottom down with a paper towel that has a bit of vegetable oil on it works well.
