Ingredients:

1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla vanilla extract
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 cup chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Directions:

Preheat waffle iron to medium-high (if temperature settings are available). In a large bowl, stir together melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Add flour; stir just until combined.

Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter into center of each waffle grid. Bake about 2 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary. Using a fork transfer cookies to rack; cool. Repeat with remaining batter.

For glaze:

In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup butter and the water over low heat until melted. Add the 3 tablespoons cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Beat in powdered sugar and the 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in additional hot water, if needed, to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies along with caramel topping. Sprinkle with pecans, if you like.
