Equipment

  • Pizzelle Iron

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour.
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp natural vanilla extract
  • Olive oil spray or butter spray
  • Powdered sugar as desired.

Instructions

  • Sift or whisk together flour and baking powder and then set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar together for about 3 minutes until they're fluffy.
  • While beating, slowly drizzle in the cool, melted butter. Then add in the vanilla extract.
  • Add in the flour mix little by little and beat until well combined.
  • Heat the pizzelle maker and then spray it with olive oil or butter. Add about 3 tablespoons of the dough (about half an ice cream scoop) just behind the center of the pizzelle maker. It will spread as the iron comes down.
  • Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Use a metal spatula to remove the cookies and place directly on a cooling rack
  • Let them cool completely and then dust with powdered sugar.
