How to make Pizzelle (classic authentic italian cookies)

PLEASE NOTE that you will need a pizzelle iron to make these cookies.
Follow the baking instructions that come along your pizzelle iron, as the instructions might slightly vary from one maker to another.

Ingredients:
3 large eggs 🥚 (room temperature)
1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
3/4 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt 🧂
1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon of Anise extract (or any other flavour of your choice)
1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter 🧈 (melted and cooled)
Cooking spray
Powdered sugar (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1) Preheat your pizzelle iron

2) In a medium size bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Blend the ingredients together with a whisk and set aside.

3) In a large bowl, whisk by hand (or you can use a hand mixer) the eggs, sugar, vanilla and anise extract until smooth and foamy.

4) Stir in the flour mixture and with a spatula combine well. Add the melted butter and stir until the batter is smooth; don’t over mix. This makes for a thick batter.

5) Lightly spray the preheated iron with the cooking spray. Drop about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter in the Center of the mold and close the lid.
Cook the pizzelle till they are golden (usually about one minute) and transfer immediately onto a wire rack to cool. Should you have any rough edges, gently break them off.
Repeat these steps for the remaining batter.

6) Once cooled, you may lightly dust the pizzelle with powdered sugar.

Enjoy them with a nice glass of warm milk 🥛, coffee ☕️ or tea 🫖!
