Guest Post - Chocolate Waffle Iron Cookies

If Mr. Waffle and Mrs. Cookie had a child, it would be the the waffle cookie! Waffle cookies are baked in a waffle iron, giving them the same pockets and soft consistency as waffles, but with the flavor of delicious chocolate cookies. Waffle cookies are a hit not matter where I take them! And the best part is? They are incredibly quick and easy to make! This recipe is one that was handed down from my grandma, to my mom, and now to me.

1/2 cup margarine

1 1/4 cups flour

Icing:

2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon milk
Make icing by melting margarine on the stove top. Add cocoa and milk, and add powdered sugar to thicken to frosting consistency.
