DAY 8 OF THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS COOKIES: Chocolate Pizzelles
Hands down, pizzelles are the favorite cookie in our house during the holidays! And I have to give credit where credit is due. Pizzelles are totally all of my husband’s doing. He mastered his aunt’s recipe and makes a few batches during the month of December.
This year, he decided to play around with the recipe and make a chocolate pizzelle. He knew our chocoholic son would totally eat these up!
How do I enjoy our chocolate pizzelles? With a cup of coffee, of course! Whether you make the classic pizzelle or this chocolate version, you will be enjoying them all season-long.
The recipe is completely versatile and you can add just about any flavoring! When making this chocolate version, make sure you use a quality cocoa powder, like Hershey’s!
TO MAKE THESE Chocolate Pizzelles, you will need:
- stand mixer
- cookie scoop
- Pizzelle Iron
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/ 3 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 pinches of salt

HOW TO MAKE Chocolate Pizzelles
Preheat pizzelle iron.
In mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, baking powder, and eggs.
