Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and salt until smooth (about 4 or 5 minutes). Mix to combine.
- Turn the mixer to medium and add the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla and red food coloring.
- Set the mixer on low speed and slowly add the flour. The batter will be sticky.
- Turn on your waffle iron, lightly spray with cooking spray, and set the temperature to medium-high (400 degrees F). Add about a tablespoon of dough to each section of the waffle iron.
- “Bake” for 2-4 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Let the cookies cool and crisp up on a wire rack.
- For the glaze, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar and salt until smooth.
- Slowly begin to incorporate the milk until you achieve the desired consistency. You may not need all of the milk.
- Dip the tops of each cookie into the glaze and return them to the cooling rack.
- Decorate with sprinkles and serve with whipped cream.
Notes
These cookies are perfect for special occasions or just as a sweet treat. Feel free to adjust the amount of red food coloring to achieve your desired shade of red.
