Instructions
Preheat a traditional waffle iron (not deep Belgian style) to waffle setting. Line 1-2 baking sheets with 2 layers of paper towels and set aside (for cooling the cookies).
While it is heating, combine the dry ingredients (waffle mix, cocoa and sugar) in a large mixing bowl; whisk to combine and break up any lumps in the cocoa. Combine the wet ingredients (water, oil and peppermint extract) in a second mixing bowl.
When the waffle iron is ready, pour the wet ingredients into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk to fully combine. Stir in the chocolate baking chips.
Liberally spray the waffle iron plates (both top and bottom plates) with non-stick cooking spray. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter into the center of each of the four squares (see photos). Allow to cook for 3 minutes without opening the waffle iron. When done gently remove each cookie using a heatproof fork or spatula to support the cookie and place onto the prepare baking sheets to fully cool (the cookies will be delicate just after cooking so handle with care; they will become firm when fully cooled). Repeat this step to create the rest of the cookies.
Once fully cooled, lightly sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar.
