Pizzelle cookies for
@missingrosie or anyone else that likes them!
6 eggs
3 1/2 c unbleached flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 c sugar
3 tbs pure anise extract (I always use more)
1-2 tbs pure vanilla extract
1 c butter melted and cooled
Beat eggs in mixer and gradually add sugar until smooth. Add cooled butter and flavorings, Sift flour and baking powder and gradually add to wet mixture, Beat until all incorporated. Drop by spoonful onto hot iron. Cook according to your pizzelle iron. Sprinkle with powder sugar when cool. They taste better after a day or two and freeze well.
Some people swear by using only oil and not butter. I just like the taste the butter gives them.
Some also like to add anise seeds, a few people I give them to can't have the seeds so I've never used them.
