Pizzelles (Classic Italian Cookies) image

A light and crunchy Italian cookie. I've never been a big fan of anise, so I make mine with a light lemon flavor instead. You'll need a pizzelle iron to make these. They're a family favorite here!

I've made pizzelles many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the cookies baked up evenly.
