Turtle Cookies - two berries

Someone brought these cookies to a work Christmas party. They are easy to make and taste like little cakes.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
6 tbsp cocoa
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla

TOPPING
-------
frosting

Cooking

  1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium heat.
  2. In a saucepan melt butter and cocoa over low heat. Remove from heat as soon as butter has melted.
  3. In a bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla.
  4. Add the cocoa to the batter and mix thoroughly.
  5. Drop a tablespoon of batter on the waffle iron. If you have a large waffle iron, you can do two at a time, but be sure each tablespoon of batter is far enough away from the other so they do not spread together.
  6. Close waffle iron and cook for one minute.
  7. Remove cookie from waffle iron to cool. Continue steps five and six until all the batter is used up.
  8. Once cooled, frost cookies with your favorite frosting.

Low-Fat Tips
