“enjoy the little things”

These are one of my family’s favorites. I try to make them during the holidays, although Anthony requests them all the time. I’ve tried many recipes, but this one is my favorite. The recipe came with the Cuisinart maker. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Classic Pizzelle

• 1 3/4 cups of unbleached, all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• oil for brushing plates

Preheat the Pizzelle machine

Add flour and baking powder in a small bowl and stir to combine. Put eggs and sugar in stand mixer and beat until thickened. While mixing on low, gradually add the melted butter and vanilla, mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, do not over-mix.

Once preheated, use a small scoop and dollop the batter onto the the center. Close cover and lock to activate timer and begin cooking. A tone will sound when they are done. Carefully remove and transfer to a flat cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter. Break any excess cookie away.
