Chocolate Waffle Cookies

This is such the perfect summer treat: chocolate cookies without having to use your oven! These cookies were a frequent favorite in my family growing up.  And I love making them in the summer time in order to keep my house cool but still get a yummy, chocolatey treat :)

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 1 c melted margarine
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. salt
• 6 Tbl. cocoa
• 2 c flour

Instructions:

1. Plug in and preheat your waffle iron.
2. Combine all of the ingredients, except the flour, and mix well.  
3. Slowly add in flour and mix until there are no lumps. 
4. Drop about 2 Tbl. of the batter onto one square of the waffle iron 
   
   
   
5. Close the top and bake for about 1 minute.
   
   
   
6. Carefully pull off the cookies from the waffle iron and place on a cooling rack to cool.  I usually use a small pair of tongs or a fork to pull my cookies off.
