Chocolate Peppermint Pizzelle Recipes

CHOCOLATE SPICE PIZZELLE

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, pie spice and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, sugar and melted butter together in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Gradually whisk to make a thick batter, switching to a rubber spatula when the batter is too thick to whisk.
• Preheat a pizzelle iron until a drop of water sizzles on the hot surface, about 10 minutes. Lightly spray the hot surface with 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 come from the iron, 30 to 45 seconds. Open the iron and remove the cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining batter.
• Put both chocolates and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave in 45 second increments, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Spoon a tablespoon of the filling into the center of half the cookies. Top with another cookie and press to sandwich them together.

CHOCOLATE MINT PIZZELLES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

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.

CHOCOLATE-PEPPERMINT SPRITZ

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg until just combined. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Fit a cookie press with a wreath disk; fill with the dough according to the manufacturer's instructions. Press cookies 1 inch apart onto 2 unlined baking sheets.
• Bake the cookies, 1 pan at a time, until crisp and set around the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Immediately remove the cookies to a rack using an offset spatula and let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
• Once the cookies have cooled, make the icing: Combine the chocolate, heavy cream and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir until melted and smooth, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir in the peppermint extract; let cool 5 minutes.
• Transfer the icing to a resealable plastic bag, snip off a corner and drizzle over the cookies. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Let set, about 30 minutes.
