Boot Tracks

1/2 cup salted butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons canola oil

// Preheat a nonstick (not Belgian) waffle iron.

// Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa powder, and oil. Beat until thoroughly combined.

// Drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the preheated un-greased waffle iron. Use two spoons, don't burn yourself. Close and cook until the cookies are puffed and cooked through, 60 to 90 seconds. Transfer to a wire rack to cool until just warm.

// Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 4 teaspoons water and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Drizzle over the cookies while still warm.
