Chilli Chocolate Pizzelle

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the chilli flakes and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Stir in the melted chocolate chips.

5. 5

   If using, divide the dough into 2 portions and mix in the milk to create a slightly softer dough for the waffle cookies. If not using, mix all dough together.

6. 6

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3mm. Place a portion of the dough onto the preheated pizzelle iron and cook for 30-60 seconds, until the edges are golden brown.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining dough, greasing the iron between each use. Store the pizzelle in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

   Tip: Store in a cool, dry place for maximum flavour.
