Grandma's Waffle Cookies (Pizzelles)

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.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 ½ cups white sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon anise oil, or more to taste
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Combine eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, butter, and anise oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until creamy and well combined. Mix in 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Slowly add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until mixture resembles a thick pancake batter.

Step 2
Preheat a pizzelle cooking iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Drop a teaspoon of dough onto each plate of the cooking iron and close the lid. Cook just until steaming slows, 10 to 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining batches of batter.

Cook’s Notes:

I add 1 teaspoon LorAnn Princess Cake and Cookie flavor to the batter, but this is optional.
