  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon stevia in the raw bakers bag
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon tapioca starch

Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
  4. Stir in flour mixture just until combined.
  5. Cover batter and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  6. Preheat a waffle iron.
  7. Add small spoonfuls (about 2½ tablespoons per cookie) of batter to waffle iron, spacing them evenly (in a standard Belgian waffle iron you should be able to make 4 cookies at a time).
  8. Close the iron and cook until golden brown.
  9. Transfer to a rack to cool completely and repeat with remaining batter.
  10. For glaze, in a food processor combine cream cheese, Stevia In The Raw, tapioca starch, and vanilla and process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
