Grandma's Waffle Cookies (Pizzelles)
I could always count on finding these authentic Italian cookies in Grandma's freezer, and her house always smelled yummy! They're great dipped in milk. Grandpa was a blacksmith and actually made their waffle iron, which I still have, although I use my modern electric pizzelle maker when making these.

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Cook's Notes:
I add 1 teaspoon LorAnn Princess Cake and Cookie flavor to the batter, but this is optional.
For a flavor alternative, try Lemon-Poppy Seed: omit anise oil; instead add 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon oil (or extract), zest from 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds.
Pizzelles freeze well. Place into stacks of a dozen, then place 2 dozen into a gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag. Note, however, cookies are fragile and will break if crushed so be sure you have plenty of freezer space!
