Use with your favorite ice cream to make ice cream sandwiches. Preheat the Cuisinart Pizzelle Press on Setting 3 while preparing the batter. Place flour, cocoa powder, chopped chocolate, and baking powder in a small bowl and stir with a whisk or fork to combine; reserve. Place eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. Using a Cuisinart SmartPower Hand Mixer, mix on medium speed for 1 minute, until thickened. On low speed, add the melted butter and vanilla in a steady stream and mix until combined, about 15 seconds. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, about 10 to 15 seconds; do not overmix. It may be necessary to lightly brush both the top and bottom grids of the pizzelle iron with a flavorless vegetable oil or melted vegetable shortening. Use the spoon provided to scoop dough, about 1 1/2-2 teaspoons, and drop onto one of the patterned cookie grids; repeat to make a second cookie. Close the lid and lock. The red indicator light will come on. When the red indicator light goes out and the green indicator light comes on, the pizzelle are ready. Adjust baking times for softer or crispier cookies according to personal preference. Remove pizzelle from the press using a heatproof plastic spatula and place on a rack to cool completely. Warm pizzelle may be wrapped around the dowel provided to form cannoli shells. Completely cooled pizzelle may be dusted with powdered sugar before serving. VARIATION: MOCHA ALMOND PIZZELLE: Dissolve 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder in 2 tablespoons hot water. Add to batter along with 1/3 cup finely ground almonds.
