Ingredients

  • Classic Pizzelles
  • 6 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract or 2 tablespoons anise flavoring
  • 1 cup melted margarine, cooled
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • Chocolate Option
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Method

  • Beat the eggs, adding sugar gradually. Beat until smooth. Add cooled margarine and vanilla extract or anise flavouring.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder. Blend into the egg mixture until smooth. Dough will be sticky enough to be dropped by spoon.
  • Heat Pizzelle maker. Grease a small cookie scoop with cooking spray. Scoop the cookie dough and place just past the centre of the form towards the back of the maker. Lock and set a timer for 26 seconds. Cook longer if you like them darker.
  • Remove to a cooling rack.
  • Chocolate Pizzelles: Sift cocoa, additional sugar and baking powder into dry ingredients for Classic Pizzelles. Blend into egg mixture until smooth.
