Classic Pizzelle Recipe for Italian Waffle Cookies

Step 1

Beat eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, until they're fluffy and a light yellow color.

Step 2

While still beating, slowly drizzle in the melted and cooled butter. Then add the vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the baking powder into the flour. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.

Step 4

Bake one medium cookie scoop of batter (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) per mold in a pizzelle maker until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove with a wooden spatula to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Step 5

Dust cooled pizzelles with powdered sugar, as desired.
