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.

Time 1h55m

Yield 2 to 4 dozen cookies, depending on size of iron

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon anise extract, optional
3 large eggs
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, anise extract if using and eggs in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour so the batter can hydrate.
  • Heat the pizzelle iron, and cook your pizzelles according to the manufacturer's directions.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I was hesitant to try these cookies. But I'm glad I did! The anise flavor is very subtle, and it's balanced out by the sweetness of the cookies. I really enjoyed them.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them. Other than that, they're a great cookie.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in my fridge, so I'm glad I found this recipe. The cookies are light and fluffy, and they have a delicate flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pizzelle cookies turned out flat and dense. They didn't have the crispy texture that I was expecting. I'll have to try again with a different recipe.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. The dough was difficult to work with and the cookies were too crispy for my taste. I think I'll stick to my old pizzelle cookie recipe.
