Add 3 tbsp. cocoa and 3 tbsp. sugar to the traditional Italian pizzelle recipe. If desired, you may substitute chocolate flavoring instead of the vanilla and anise flavorings.

1 cup sugar | 1/4 cup molasses |

Recipe Hints
Pizzelles are light and crisp. Serve them plain or dusted with powdered sugar. Also, they can be easily shaped while they are still warm right from the baker and formed into a cone, cylinder or even a cup and then filled with whipped cream, ice cream, or any other filling you like. To keep them crisp, store in an airtight container.
