According to Wikipedia, pizzelles “are traditional Italian waffle cookies made from flour, eggs, sugar, butter or vegetable oil, and flavoring (often vanilla, anise, or lemon zest)”. According to me, pizzelles are deliciously light and crispy cookies that are addictive and should only be eaten by the dozen. In order to form the cookie, you’ll need […]
