PIZZELLE
Hailing from Abruzzo in Central Italy, pizzelle are crisp, flat waffle-esque cookies made in a special hot iron. Like mostaccioli, these cookies predate Christmas -- in fact, it is said that this is the oldest known cookie recipe on earth, dating back to the 8th century BC. In olden times, presses were made from cast iron and would be heated over a fire, or directly on the stovetop. You can still find those irons if you're up to the challenge, but electric irons are much easier to use, and very easy to find both online and at major retailers.

Steps:

- In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Slowly add sugar, and continue mixing until well-blended. Whisk in vanilla and lemon extracts. Slowly add the cooled butter in a steady stream, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth.
- Slowly add the sifted flour mixture, and keep whisking until flour is completely incorporated into the batter. Do not overbeat.
- Fill a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch plain tip with batter. Pipe 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter in a circle in the center of each pattern on the heated pizzelle iron. Close the iron, and seal with the clasp. Cook for 50 to 60 seconds. Using a small spatula, remove pizzelles, and place on wire rack to cool.

Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help prevent the pizzelles from spreading too much and will result in a crispier cookie.
- Use a pizzelle iron that is hot enough: The ideal temperature for baking pizzelles is between 350 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If the iron is too cool, the pizzelles will not cook properly.
- Bake the pizzelles for the correct amount of time: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the dough and the temperature of the iron. Bake the pizzelles until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a variety of toppings: Pizzelles can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, Nutella, or fruit preserves. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pizzelles are a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a dessert platter. They are perfect for fall gatherings, but can be enjoyed all year round. With a few simple ingredients and a pizzelle iron, you can easily make these tasty treats at home. So what are you waiting for? Give pumpkin pizzelles a try today!
