CHOCOLATE PIZZELLE FROM KING ARTHUR
Chocolate pizzelle � a delicious variation on the usual almond, anise, and rum-flavored cookies. Snapping crisp yet tender, pizzelle are a must-have at any Italian celebration. Got this in an email from King Arthur Flour and sounds great. It'll be awhile before I can make it do to finding ingrediants here in Beijing - but want to save it until I can get back home. I hope you give it a try and enjoy. UPDATE: Finally had the chance to make these and they were so easy and really good - next time I think I'll make the 2-tone (as in step #5) ones with a rum flavor and see how that goes.

Steps:
- Beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt till smooth.
- Add the cocoa and baking powder, again beating till smooth.
- Add the flour, mixing till well combined. Add the melted butter, again mixing till well combined.
- Bake pizzelle according to your pizzelle iron instructions. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well for scooping batter onto the iron; a level scoopful of batter is the right size for most standard pizzelle makers.
- To make two-tone pizzelle: Prepare plain pizzelle batter, flavoring it with 1/2 teaspoon hazelnut flavor, if desired. Using a teaspoon scoop (which holds 2 level measuring teaspoons), drop a chestnut-sized ball of vanilla batter just below center in the cooking area of the pizzelle iron. Drop a slightly smaller ball of chocolate batter just above the center line, nestling it right next to the vanilla batter. Close the iron, and bake according to the manufacturer's directions.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of this recipe, so don't skimp on quality. Use a chocolate that you love the taste of.
- Make sure your pizzelle iron is hot enough. If the iron is not hot enough, the pizzelles will not cook properly and will be soft and chewy. You can check the temperature of the iron by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If the water sizzles and evaporates immediately, the iron is hot enough.
- Don't overcrowd the pizzelle iron. Only cook one or two pizzelles at a time. If you overcrowd the iron, the pizzelles will not cook evenly.
- Be careful when removing the pizzelles from the iron. The pizzelles are very fragile when they are first cooked. Use a spatula to carefully remove them from the iron and place them on a wire rack to cool.
- Store the pizzelles in an airtight container. The pizzelles will keep for up to two weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
