Waffle Iron Cookies

I've had this recipe for SEVERAL years, but have never made them. In trying to find a recipe for my cookie exchange on Monday, I tried this one out. It is more like a brownie than a cookie, so I've decided to not use it for the exchange. However, it is a yummy recipe! And how fun it is to use a waffle iron to make cookies-- super FAST!!

Cookie Ingredients:
4 squares melted chocolate
1 cup butter (softened)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Melt chocolate and add butter, beat in eggs and sugar. Fold in flour and vanilla. Drop by teaspoons on a heated waffle iron, timing 90-120 seconds when cover is down. Frost while warm if desired.

Frosting Ingredients:
2 squares chocolate
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 box plus 1 cup powdered sugar

Melt chocolate and butter together, add vanilla and sugar. Mix well, spread on cookies.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:
- I ran out of chocolate baking squares but the back of a can of cocoa gives you the equivalent substitution. (1 square is 1 ounce of chocolate.)
- I did NOT frost mine. They were yummy without frosting.
- The time will vary based on your waffle iron temperature and how big you make your cookies.
