These are the best pizzelle out there! Make sure to use real anise oil, not extract, and only 1/2 teaspoon per batch is plenty. Buy anise oil on the internet if you can't find it locally.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I was hesitant to try these pizzelle. But I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I was a bit disappointed with the results. The pizzelle were too thick and didn't have the delicate texture I was expecting.

The pizzelle were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavor was still great. I'll try reducing the cooking time next time.
