Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon coffee optional
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles for decorating
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar for decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix with a whisk until the sugar is fully integrated.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously until the mixture is creamy.
  • Add the salt and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Divide the mixture into two halves.
  • To one half, gently fold in half of the flour, cocoa powder, and coffee, mix until combined.
  • Then add in the white chocolate chips into this half of the mixture.
  • Next, to the other half of the mixture, add the remaining flour and mix until combined.
  • Using a Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out a portion of the batter and place in a preheated waffle iron and cook for about 5 minutes. (If the batter is spreading too much, chill your batter for 30 minutes then try again).
  • Once cooked, remove and set aside on a plate. Repeat with all remainin batter.
  • In a bowl, add about 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate and melt in the microwave in intervals of 15-30 seconds.
  • For the vanilla cookies, dip half of each cookie into melted dark chocolate and decorate with sprinkles.
  • For the chocolate cookies, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

  1. You can choose to make all vanilla or all chocolate for this recipe, if all chocolate double the cocoa powder, white chocolate chips and coffee (if using).
  2. These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  3. Make sure that your waffle iron is preheated so they do not stick.
  4. Depending on how much you scoop out these can make more or less cookies.
  5. For a crispier cookie add a few more minutes onto the cooking time.
  6. Other additions and decorations can be used, see above for some ideas.
  7. The cookies are done when they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
  8. You can chill the dough for about 30 minutes to prevent spreading if they do spread.
