  • In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs and sugar. Slowly add melted butter, vanilla, and anise extract, while mixing. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and anise seeds. If a thicker cookie is preferred, add 1/2 cup more flour.

  • Drop cookies by rounded tablespoons onto the center of the grid. Close the iron and cook until steaming stops. This could take 30 to 90 seconds, depending on the iron used.

This made a nice batter that was easy to work with. I substituted 1 tsp. of orange extract for one of the teaspoons of vanilla. The anise seed gives this a nice nutty texture. My only regret is that I didn't invest in a more expensive pizzelle maker that would have given me a deeper imprint. Read More

This is by far the BEST pizzelle recipe I've ever tried. They did not stick to the iron at all and were really delicious in flavor. Read More

If you want your pizelles to come out thin and crisp you need to hold the handle on your waffle iron down while they bake. Squeeze tight and they won't come out "cookie-like" but so thin and crispy you can see through them. Read More
