Recipe: Try My Pizzelles for a Special Treat!

You can also make your own ice cream cones when you make your  own pizzelles!


Delicately flavored to perfection with amaretto and anise extract, you will love this recipe for my pizzelles. The dough is thicker than you would expect and this is so much less expensive than buying them.  My pizzelle iron paid for itself many times!

Pizzelles are  versatile cookies that you can even form into yummy ice cream cones, use for luxurious ice cream sandwiches, or enjoy plain. 

To make ice cream cones, take a warm, freshly made pizzelle and wrap each soft cookie around your cone form.   You can find cone forms where you buy baking supplies.

I do hope that you try my pizzelle recipe sometime because it really is very good!

My Pizzelles

12 eggs (separated)
2 cups butter that has been melted and is cool
2 cups sugar
5 teaspoons of baking powder, leveled
4 to 5 cups of flour
3 tablespoons of amaretto or brandy
1 teaspoon of anise extract 

Beat the egg whites until you see stiff peaks.

Take the other ingredients and beat those in another bowl which then is folded into those egg whites.  Place this into your refrigerator and the next day you can make pizzelles!

ENJOY!
