Christmas Pizzelles Cookies Pizzelles are an Italian cookie that is crisp and light. Normally flavored with Anise, I decided to change mine up and use almond flavoring. I also added sprinkles at the end to give them a bit of Christmas flare. All I know is that these cookies go quicker than I make them around here. Let me know what you think about this version and y’all enjoy.
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla (I used almond)
- 1 stick butter, melted and cooled
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- powdered sugar to dust cookies
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- Beat the eggs and sugar in a medium sized bowl until light yellow.
- Add melted butter and vanilla or flavoring of your choice and mix until blended.
- Stir together the flour and baking powder and combine slowly with wet ingredients.
- Add in sprinkles and fold this together until just incorporated, don’t over stir.
- When your pizzelle iron is heated, place about 2 tablespoons of batter in center of each pattern.
- Slowly close lid and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until just golden brown
- Remove to a cookie cooling rack, repeat with remaining batter. (Dust with powdered sugar if you like)
- Cookies will harden within a minute or two.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
