Chocolate Mint Pizzelles Recipe 455

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt until light. Melt the butter and stir in.
• Sift together all the remaining ingredients except the hazelnuts and fold in.
• Stir in the hazelnuts last.
• Heat Pizzelle iron and place 1 teaspoon of batter on each imprint. Close iron and bake 30 seconds.
• Cool on racks. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Grease the plates of the pizzelle iron generously with butter or coconut oil. Preheat the pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Set up a cooling rack close to where you are baking the pizzelles. Once you start cooking them you need to work fast. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add butter, vanilla, and extracts and beat well. Sift flour and baking powder and add to egg mixture. Mix until just blended. Don't overwork the batter. Batter will be stiff. If it is too runny it won't spread properly in the iron. Drop the batter by the teaspoonful into the centre of each circle on the pizzelle iron. My pizzelle iron uses just slightly more than 1 tsp. of batter per pizzelle. Follow the directions with your own pizzelle iron. Close the pizzelle iron over the batter and let it cook until the steam stops. Once the steam stops and the pizzelles are baked, remove them from the iron. If you want to roll them into cones do that immediately when they come off the pizzelle iron. They are soft and pliable then. As they cool they will crisp up. Place them on the cooling rack. Serve them plain, with a dusting of icing sugar, or dip them in melted chocolate.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon, orange zest, and salt together in a large bowl.
• In another medium bowl, briskly whisk the eggs, sugar and melted butter together until smooth and evenly combined.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Gradually whisk the liquid into the flour to make a thick batter. When the pizelle batter starts to clump up in the whisk, switch to a rubber spatula to finish mixing it together. (If you have a large pastry bag, put a big round tip in it, and fill with the pizelle batter.)
• Preheat a pizzelle iron until a drop of water sizzles on the hot surface, about 10 minutes. Lightly spray the hot surface with nonstick cooking spray. Pipe or spoon about a tablespoon of the batter into the center of each cookie imprint. Close the iron and cook until whiffs of steam comes from the iron, about 30 to 45 seconds. Open and remove cookie from the iron, cool on a rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Cover and microwave on medium power until soft and melted, about 3 minutes depending on the power of your oven; stir until smooth. Alternatively, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1-inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir in mint extract.
• To serve pipe a tablespoon of the mint filling into the center of half the cookies. Top with another cookie and press to sandwich them together. Serve now or keep tightly covered for up to 1 week.
