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.

Not a fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The pizzelle cookies still turned out great! Crispy, flavorful, and a perfect snack or dessert.

The pizzelle cookies were a bit too crispy for my taste, but overall they were still good. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
