Authentic Pizzelle Recipe: Make Crispy Italian Waffle Cookies

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Instructions

1. Assemble all the necessary ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale. Incorporate the melted butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
3. Preheat your pizzelle iron and lightly brush it with oil to prevent sticking. Drop approximately one tablespoon of batter onto each design on the hot iron. Note: Adjust the amount of batter and baking time as needed, as this may vary depending on your specific iron. Bake for 20 to 45 seconds, or until steam ceases to escape from the iron. Gently remove the pizzelle from the iron and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
4. Allow the pizzelles to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
5. Serve your homemade pizzelles and savor the deliciousness!
