I love cookies! The easier the better. So, when I got back from my vacation, I wanted some thing quick and easy to get back into the swing of things in the kitchen.
I inherited an old Pizzelle maker from my Grandmother a few years ago. I had never even heard of these cookies, but I figured what the heck, I'd take the press.
The first time I made the cookies, they came out kinda funny. The batter was too thin and I did not care for the anise that the traditional Italian cookies call for.
When I found a recipe in my Betty Crocker Cookie Book, the recipe worked much better!
From Betty Crocker:
2 cups Flour
1 cup Sugar
3/4 cup melted butter, allow time to cool
1 Tbls vanilla extract
4 eggs
powered sugar for dusting
Preheat your Pizzelle iron as directed.
Combine all ingredients until batter is smooth
Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the rear half iron and close.
Cook for about 30 seconds and then carefully remove and cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with some powered sugar.
Unfortunately, you can only make two cookies at a time. It's easy, but a bit time involved.
I made all of these in about an hour and a half.
Sometimes, the cookie batter will ooze out the side, and sometimes you'll get a thinner, "lacey" design.
If you end up with not so desirable cookies, just break them up over some ice cream.
They make a great ice cream cone substitution.
These are yummy cookies that make a simple dessert with coffee or tea.
Or... enjoy them for breakfast :)

Those are so pretty! I need to get one of those presses. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorthy. And thanks for recommending Divergent. I read it on vacation and am on the second book now :)
DeleteOh my the memories you've brought back. I used to help my Grandma make these at Christmas time. They are so, so yummy. Makes me want to run out and get a Pitzelle press.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to make you happy. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThese are quite unique cookies for me :)
ReplyDeleteand i love to try new things
Thanks so much for sharing
I've never heard of these cookies or this type of cookie maker before! They look fantastic and sound really yummy. I'm going to be looking out for a Pizelle press now!
ReplyDeleteThey are an Italian cookie. I see them in the bakery section of our grocery store. They are pretty fragile, so I don't know how they make them to package and ship without breaking.
DeleteThese cookies looks wonderful, I know they are yummy! I host a desserts only link party, at http://pamelasheavenlytreats.blogspot.com i would love if you would link these up!
ReplyDeleteI just remembered I have a pizzelle maker when I saw your post! I will have to dust it off and make some. I'm a new follower too and would love for you to stop by and check me out too! Deb
ReplyDeleteIs there anything else you could use? Not keen on buying a piece of kit just for one type of food. I have enough gadgets as it is!
ReplyDeleteMy sister used to make those cookies! I remember them being so yummy - I may have to add a press to my Christmas wish list!
ReplyDeleteThese are so prettyful! I've heard of them before but never knew how to make them or how AWESOME they'd be on ice cream. I mean, that's just straight-up genius stuff right there!
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves pizzelles - his 'Nano' used to make them :) I’m stopping by from The DIY Dreamer to say hello. I hope you’ll come visit me at jugglingactmama.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI got to get me one of those machines! Very fun!
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies. We make them for Christmas. Great for waffle cones for Ice Cream also.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer.. From Dream To Reality!
I grew up eating pizzelle!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this. I too, have received a Pizzelle maker and honestly had no idea how or what to make with them. I'm going to come back and find out what else you made!

They look awesome! I've never heard of a pizzelle cookie. Visiting from Flaunt it Friday :)
ReplyDeleteThese are one of my favorite cookies. My grandmother used to send us dozens of them every Christmas until one year she sent my mother her own press. Thank you for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday! Please come back on Sunday to VOTE!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Those look yummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with my Super Link Party! :-)
YUM. Love pizzelles. A friend of ours makes batches of them every Christmas. Yours look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI never made pizzelles but they sure do look good. I'll have to give them a try. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking maybe I could use a huge cookie sheet & press them with my wired grid cooling racks to get the shape desired. I'll give it a shot anyway.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I only make pizzelles at Christmas time. They would be scrumptious in ice cream. Your images are yummy! Thanks for bringing this sweet treat to ON THE MENU MONDAY!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make these cooks, but I had reservation about buy the iron just for one kind of cookie. I'm sure I'll justify the purchase to myself soon. Haha. You've been featured at Wednesday Whatsits. Thanks for linking up!
