These classic, crisp pizzelles are a perfect treat for any occasion! With a sweet, vanilla or anise flavor, they are a delightful addition to any dessert table. Easy to make with a few simple ingredients, they can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite fillings like cream, Nutella, or jam.

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 6 eggs
  2. 3 1/2 cups flour
  3. 1 1/2 cups sugar
  4. 2 tablespoons vanilla or anise extract
  5. 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  6. 4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs, gradually adding the sugar. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the cooled melted butter and the vanilla or anise extract to the egg mixture. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  • Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet egg mixture until the dough is smooth and sticky enough to be dropped by spoon.
  • Preheat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Drop a rounded teaspoon of dough onto the center of the pizzelle iron. Use your finger or a small spoon to help place it.
  • Close the pizzelle iron and cook until the pizzelle is lightly golden. Be careful not to overcook.
  • Use a fork to lift the edge of the pizzelle and gently remove it with your fingers. Place flat on a cooling rack. Handle with care to avoid burning your fingers.
  • Once cooled, transfer the pizzelle to a plate or store in an airtight container.
  • Optional: Dust with confectioners’ sugar, or fill with cream, Nutella, or jam for added flavor.

Notes

  • The dough will be sticky but should hold its shape when spooned onto the pizzelle iron.
  • Ensure the pizzelle iron is properly preheated before cooking to avoid undercooked or uneven cookies.
  • Pizzelle can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
