In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and frothy, about 2 minutes.
Add the melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract to the eggs, mixing until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms. The batter should hold its shape but still be pliable.
Preheat your pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat the plates with a small amount of non-stick spray if needed.
Place about one tablespoon of batter in the center of each pizzelle plate. Close the lid and cook according to your pizzelle maker's directions, typically about 30 to 60 seconds or until the pizzelle is set and no longer shiny.
Carefully remove the pizzelle with a spatula and transfer it to a flat surface or a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Optional: Lightly dust cooled pizzelles with powdered sugar before serving for an added touch of sweetness.
