Italian Recipe ‹ Grandma's Italian Pizzelle Cookies

An Italian waffle cookie made with a pizzelle iron. Sprinkled with powdered sugar. Once completely cooled, store in a container with a well-fitting lid.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, beaten
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon anise extract
• cooking spray
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat a pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
2. Beat eggs, sugar, and butter together using an electric mixer. Add flour and extracts; beat until combined.
3. Spray the inside of iron lightly with cooking spray.
4. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into the center of each pizzelle grid. Close lid and bake until steam stops and cookies are light golden brown, 45 to 60 seconds.
