Chocolate Chunk Waffle Cookies with Vanilla Bean Frosting

My itty bitty corner of the web has been a little quiet this week. I went on a girls trip  over the weekend, came home to family in town, and have just been playing catch up….mostly just catching up on laundry. Seriously people it never ends. 

But I’m here, on a Thursday (which means it’s almost FRIDAY!!!!) and I’ve got these waffle cookies that, oh my word, are just too good! Chocolate Chunk Waffle Cookies with a thick, and I mean thick, layer of Vanilla Bean Frosting!

Please tell me that you’ve already busted out your waffle iron?????

How fun right? You can actually make cookies in a waffle iron in just minutes! These are thick and cakey cookies too, just how I like them. The batter is simple and it’s loaded with chocolate flavor– made with cocoa powder, a splash of Nielsen-Massey’s Pure Chocolate Extract, and even chocolate chips.  

I love using Nielsen-Massey products in my baking. The quality of their flavorings and extracts is just amazing. Everything is all-natural and pure, and you can taste it too. You might be familiar with their variety of vanillas? The Madagascar Pure Vanilla Bean Paste has been one of my favorites to use in baking for such a long time!! 

And the vanilla bean paste makes the frosting just incredible! 

Just ask this kid ↑↑….he’s the frosting king.
