This is the pizzelle recipe that my family has used for years! I'm glad to see it here! I do use melted butter instead of margarine, but otherwise make mine exactly as written in this recipe. These are light and delicious! Make sure to sift the flour and baking powder together before adding - it makes the pizzelles lighter.

Perfect! I made some with anise and some with vanilla - both had great texture and taste. They're even better with a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Great for cookie exchanges!

We make these every year and can't make enough. Ideas! you can also add some food coloring to them for the holidays. Also Make sure to sprinkle with Powder sugar. Also try with Vanilla extract or pepermint.

Very good, I used butter and used pure vanilla extract instead of anise, but kept to the same measurements. I have an electric iron that makes 4 at a time so to make it easy on my self I put the dough in a pastry bag, and then just squeezed out the right amount, this makes it very simple and controls the amount that you use to make even cookies. Each iron is different and you need to adjust the time and the color you want, after a few days of curing the cookies, I now know that for my iron what color means done and for me it is a very light color because my iron makes them so thin.

Yay! I was searching for something that tasted like my Italian Grandmother's recipe. I made these today as sort of a "test" run. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and they were perfect!! I am very happy with this recipe and will make again for the holidays.

Awesome! Been making these for years and they are going back on my cookie tray again this year at Christmas. I tend to like vanilla and lemon flavoring so I usually add that. I never use margarine, only butter. For best results sift the dry ingredients.

I lost my grandmother's recipe, and was really skeptical about someone else's recipe, but this one is spectacular. Stays true to the italian pizzelle flavor, and I wouldn't change a thing!
