Chocolate Turtles Waffle Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and butter together and cool
• Add beaten eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla.
• Drop on hot waffle iron by 1/2 tsp. and bake 1 minute. Lift with fork.
• Frost with chocolate powdered sugar icing. Top with a whole pecans to make "turtles". If using cocoa instead of chocolate, start with 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup of cocoa.

Steps:

• 1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a sauce pan, bring to a boil and boil for 3 min.
• 2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• 3. Allow to cool a bit then add powdered sugar to make a soft, pourable frosting.
• 4. Pour frosting over the cooled waffle iron cookies, filling the holes and making a smooth, shiny turtle shell. (Follow Just a Pinch Recipe posted by Marsha Baker, "Waffle Iron Cookies" to make the cookies.)

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla. Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to the sugar mixture. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into each section of a preheated waffle iron. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. Remove carefully; cool on wire racks. Spread with chocolate frosting.

Steps:

• Heat waffle iron to medium-high (spray with cooking spray before heating if necessary). Heat 1/3 cup chocolate chips and the butter in 1 1/2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Stir in remaining ingredients except 1/2 cup chocolate chips and the powdered sugar.
• Drop 1 tablespoon batter onto each section of ungreased waffle iron. Close lid of waffle iron. Bake 2 to 3 minutes or until steaming stops.
• Remove from waffle iron to wire rack. Immediately sprinkle each cookie with about 1 teaspoon chocolate chips and powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Steps:
