Recipe: Pizzelles

If you haven't had a pizzelle yet, you need to get on that STAT. You guys, they're so easy, so delicious, and so fun. They are an Italian cookie, that can be made either soft and chewy (my fav) or nice and crispy. You need a special pizzelle iron to make them, but ours is able to make waffle cones as well (its the kitchen appliance from heaven).  You can tweak it, playing with different extracts (we love lemon!) They are hard to mess up, and taste wonderful with powdered sugar on top.

We use this. recipe:

1. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder, and blend into the batter until smooth.
2. For chocolate pizzelles, add 1/4 cup cocoa sifted together with flour and baking powder, 1/4 cup more sugar and 1/4 teaspoon more baking powder.
