Christy Rost's Italian Pizzelles
Christy Rost shares a family recipe for Italian pizzelles: light, crisp, anise-flavored cookies that look like snowflakes. Recipe ⬇️
ITALIAN PIZZELLES
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups sugar
6 eggs
2 ½ teaspoons anise extract
3 ½ cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup sifted confectioners’ sugar, for garnish
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beating well after each addition. Stir in anise extract.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture to form a very soft dough.
Lightly grease a pizzelle iron and heat it according to manufacturer’s instructions. Drop a heaping teaspoon of dough on each pizzelle design and close the lid. Bake the cookies approximately 1 minute, or until pizzelles are golden in color. Do not brown.
Open the pizzelle iron and remove each cookie by lifting the edge with a fork. Transfer the cookies to a dish towel covered with paper towels to absorb moisture. Cool 30 seconds. Paper towels will become damp with steam and will have to be replaced periodically. Transfer cookies to another set of paper towels and dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar. Transfer sugared pizzelles to wire racks to dry and finish cooling.
To store the cookies, place a small square of parchment or wax paper between each cookie and stack them in large coffee cans or cookie tins. Cover tightly and store up to several weeks. The anise flavor develops after 24 hours.
Yield: 4 dozen cookies

Italian Pizzelle - Ivo's Version
I developed this pizzelle recipe, by modifying my mothers recipe and my mother gave me the best compliment ever - telling me she truly likes my version better. Well, that sure made my day and I sure hope that you give my recipe a try, and I hope that it will make your day as well :)

Ivo’s Pizzelle Recipe
Ingredients
• 160 gr all-purpose flour (~1 ¾ Cups) (sifted if possible)
• 1 TSP Baking Powder
• 1/8 TSP cinnamon
• 3 XL Eggs (or large eggs are also fine)
• 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
• 2 TSP Vanilla
• 1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Regular Olive Oil
• 1TBSP Honey (optional – for added sweetness)
• 2 TBSP Anisette Liquor (this is optional) (or use 1 TBSP Annise Extract, also optional)
Process
• Put the flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl, and whisk together - set aside.
• In another bowl, add the eggs and the brown sugar. Beat them with a hand blender for about 2 – 3 minutes. Then add the vanilla, olive oil and anisette (and optional honey), beat for another 15 seconds, and then pour into your other bowl, with the flour mixture in it
• Mix (a firm spatula works great) and continue to mix until all the flour has been absorbed. Your batter is now ready.
• Pre-heat your Pizzelle maker, when it is ready, add a heaping TBSP of batter per cookie, close lid and cook for 40 – 60 seconds. Time will vary based on your pizzelle maker, amount of heat, and the amount of batter. Basically, you want to see a light golden color.
• Remove form maker and place on a cooling rack (the pizzelle come out of the maker soft, but as they cool, they firm up)
• Continue this process until all batter is used. Depending on the size of your cookies and the thickness of your machine, you could yield anywhere from 14 – 20 pizzelle, again, depending.
• If you store the pizzelle in a plastic bag, they will stay firm, but soft. If you store them in a paper bag, or tin cookie box, they will stay firm, but will be harder and they will also keep longer this way as well
• Enjoy
