    Classic Italian Pizzelle Cookies: My family recipe

    This classic Italian pizzelle recipe is a really easy and delicious recipe that makes crisp pizzelle every time. These thin and crisp Italian waffle style cookies are made from flour, eggs, butter, anise and vanilla and cooked in a pizzelle iron. 

    Make these pizzelle cookies as a traditional Italian dessert for special occasions or holidays as a treat everyone will love. I will walk you through all the steps to make these traditional Italian cookies so you can make them a tradition in your home the way we have in ours.

    About these pizzelles:

    This pizzelle recipe makes a classic Italian pizzelle cookie flavored with anise and it is lightly sweet and crisp. If you are not familiar with anise, it has a flavor of black licorice so you only use a little bit in this recipe.

    This recipe will walk you through all the steps to making these classic Italian cookies. From making the pizzelle batter, how much anise to add, and different pizzelle flavor variations if anise is not your thing.

    What does pizzelle mean?

    Pizzelles in Italian basically means small rounds. Pizze means round or flat and is the same root word that pizza comes from.

    I grew up eating pizzelle cookies that my grandmother made at every family get together and at holidays. These Italian cookies have so many great memories associated with it.

    Many people will pronounce these Italian cookies, pizzelles, but the actual plural of them is pizzelle. My family uses the term pizzelles as do many Italians.

    This recipe is the recipe I grew up with and the one we continue to make each year.

    The extract that makes this pizzelle recipe the best!

    Classic Italian pizzelle are a crisp and thin Italian waffle cookie that is made with anise. When you make this classic Italian cookie, you will be rewarded with the most delicious traditional Italian cookie that is perfect at the holidays or any special gathering.

    This is a family recipe so it is a traditional Italian recipe that uses anise oil (or extract) but you can use vanilla if you prefer.  It really is the best pizzelle recipe and it makes crisp delicious pizzelle everytime.

    Measuring Anise for the pizzelle:

    When I first made these on my own after I was married I used so much anise that my husband's mouth was numb for the whole day.  The reason was my Italian grandmother wrote down all her recipes but she would always alter one key ingredient.

    She felt you should be in the kitchen learning not just reading recipe cards. The altered ingredient was anise πŸ™‚

    For reference, too much was 1 teaspoon full. That may not seem like much if you are working with vanilla extract but with anise it is numbing.

    After many trials, I have figured out the perfect ratio to use so that it has a very faint flavor and makes these Classic Italian pizzelles taste so amazing! It is the same tasting pizzelle I grew up eating.

    Ingredients to make pizzelle

    • All purpose flour
    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Sugar
    • Butter
    • Vanilla extract
    • Anise extract (or anise oil)

    The Pizzelle Batter

    pizzelle batter in bowl for pizzelle recipe

    Pizzelle batter is very thick and sticky. When you scoop it up with a spoon, it will stick to the spoon so you will have to push it off with your finger to get it on to the pizzelle maker.

    When I make my pizzelles, I always like to have lots of paper towels on hand so I can wipe my fingers off in between scooping out the dough.

    The Pizzelle Maker (Pizzelle Iron)

    To make these Italian cookies, you will need a special pizzelle iron. If you have never seen one,  it looks like a small waffle iron but the grooves on it are more shallow. 

    Here is what it looks like.

    These are very cheap to buy (as long as you buy them well before the Christmas holidays) and last a long time!  I think I paid $20.00 for mine over 15 years ago and it is still going strong. 

    You can make homemade ice cream cones and faux cannoli shells with these as well if you want to put it to use more often. 

    If you like the flavor of Italian pizzelle cookies but maybe do not want to buy a pizzelle maker, you should check out my pizzelle cookies recipe that is made without the pizzelle maker. The cookies are not thin and crisp like Italian pizzelles but the flavor is perfect.

    The dough is the same as this pizzelle recipe that uses anise oil so the flavor will be the same.

    If you have never tried making classic Italian pizzelles you should give it a try and I know you will love it!

    How to make Pizzelle

    making-the-pizzelles

    When you are ready to make your pizzelles, you will want to scoop a good tablespoon full of dough on to your pizzelle iron then close. While every pizzelle iron varies and you will want to follow your manufacturer's instructions.

    You can almost always tell when they are about ready when the steam slows down that is coming out of the pizzelles in the pizzelle maker.

    When I start to see that steam slow down I will give a little peak at the pizzelles by gently lifting the top of the pizzelle maker and seeing if the outside is a nice light golden color.

    Once the pizzelles are ready, you want to gently scoop them off with a spatula and place them on to a cooling rack. They will be somewhat soft and pliable for a few seconds until they cool.

    If you wondered how to make crisp pizzelle this is it. This cooling time is when the pizzelle get crispy so make sure to let them cool fully.

    Italian cookies
    I like to make a few cannoli shapes to fill later when making pizzelles. I use the end of my tapered off rolling pin to wrap the warm pizzelles around.

    Shaping the pizzelles

    At the point that the pizzelle are just coming out of the hot pizzelle maker, you can shape the pizzelle into a mock cannoli or into ice cream cone shapes since they are pliable. Just make sure to have something cylindrical on hand so you are ready to make the shapes when you are making these.

    I like to use the end of my tapered rolling pin to make cannoli shapes.

    Cleaning up the cooked pizzelles

    The last step when making this pizzelle cookie recipe is cleaning up the edges after they have cooled. This is fun and part of the pizzelle tradition.

    If you can see from the picture above, the pizzelles will go over the edge of the pattern a little on the pizzelle maker. Once they are fully cooled, you just gently snap the edges that go past the pizzelle pattern and your pizzelles are all set!

    Tips

    How to make pizzelle crispy and how to store pizzelle

    Pizzelle crisp up while they are cooling so making sure they cool on a wire rack is important. This will allow the pizzelle to crisp up nicely.

    Pizzelles are meant to be eaten right away or the same day you make them but you can store them in an air tight container or bag for up to a few days with good results.

    Freezing pizzelles

    Yes! Just let them cool completely and then wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer proof container for up to 2 months. To thaw, just remove them from the freezer and place on the counter to come to room temperature.

    Can you make pizzelles without a pizzelle maker?

    Yes and no. You can technically place your pizzelle dough onto a hot griddle and place a hot grill press over top. This will take some experimentation for how long to do this.

    You won't get that beautiful pattern that you would get with the pizzelle maker. I have made a pizzelle cookie recipe that uses a cookie press for those who love the flavor but do not have a pizzelle maker.

    Other pizzelle flavors when making Italian pizzelles

    This pizzelle cookie recipe uses anise extract and makes an anise pizzelle, a traditional pizzelle flavor. If you do not have anise or you want to try other flavors, here a list of some great options that you can substitute for the anise.

    I have also included the ratios to use in the recipe below.

    • Vanilla pizzelle: Vanilla extract
    • Lemon pizzelle: Lemon extract
    • Almond pizzelle: Almond extract
    • Chocolate pizzelle recipe: Chocolate flavor or chocolate extract

    Pizzelles are all about tradition and bringing people together. You can make this recipe your own by switching up the flavors or make these pizzelle as is but remember to enjoy the company you are with when you make them.

    Ingredients

    • 3 eggs
    • ΒΎ cup of sugar
    • 1 ΒΎ cups of all purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoon of baking powder
    • 1 Β½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • 3 tiny drops of anise to do this, pour a tiny amount of anise on to a spoon. Slowly turn the spoon downward over your mixture and wait for 3 tiny drops to fall and then you are done!
    • 8 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
    • ΒΌ teaspoon kosher salt

    Instructions

    • Whisk together your eggs, sugar, vanilla and anise (see how to measure anise above) in a medium bowl.
      3 eggs, ΒΎ cup of sugar, 3 tiny drops of anise, 1 Β½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • Now add your flour, salt and baking powder and mix it well until there are no lumps and it looks smooth.
      1 ΒΎ cups of all purpose flour, 2 teaspoon of baking powder, ΒΌ teaspoon kosher salt
    • Now add your melted butter and mix that in to your mixture.
      8 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
    • Pre-heat your pizzelle maker. They are all a little different so follow the manufacturers instructions for this.
    • Once it is heated, add a heaping tablespoon of your thick dough to the middle of each of your pizzelle areas on the iron. Close and cook for about 30-45 seconds until it is a light golden color. If the pizzelle is too light in color you can just close the pizzelle maker and cook the pizzelle for a few more seconds.
    • Once they are cooked, remove the pizzelles from the iron (they will still be soft and pliable at this point) and place on a cooling rack where they will cool and get nice and crispy. Keep doing this until all the dough is used up!
    • Once all of your pizzelles are fully cooked and cooled, you can go ahead and clean them up if you would like by lightly breaking off any parts of the pizzelle that went beyond the design edge. I find this to be relaxing but it is not necessary πŸ™‚

    To serve

    • Stack them up or fan them out on a plate and eat them as is or with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Serve with tea or Italian coffee and Enjoy!

      Suggestion: instead of scooping off the dough to the iron with your finger, use another spoon to scoop off the dough. Hand stay clean. And less risk getting burned

      I stand corrected. I just made these following the recipe for vanilla (cut flour to about 1 1/2 cups). They were cool, dry and crisp within minutes. No overnight drying for me. I still prefer the anise flavor but for my friends who don't care for it, these are great. Glad I found this recipe. It's hard to deviate from the family recipe but frankly, this is better. Nice job!

      I am planning to make these today. I have been making anise ones for years but want to try vanilla so I'm using this recipe. One important note, too be really crispy, let pizzelles cook and dry overnight on a table (do not overlap cookies). They will be crisp and dry in the morning. Then can be stored in an airtight tin (think popcorn or potato chip tin) for several weeks (if they last that long). I have no pets, if you have pets, cover with a thin layer of paper towels or napkins (that can allow the cookies breathe).

        Hi Carm. I have not tried this recipe with oil but my grandmother also had a recipe that uses oil and it uses about 3/4 the amount of oil in place of the butter. This would be about 6 tablespoons of oil if you were using this recipe.
        I hope this helps. Let me know if you try it and how it works out πŸ™‚

      These were incredible! I think the thick batter really helps make them crisp. A keeper recipe!

      Hi Melissa! I’m excited to try your recipe, but I’m thinking of adding some fall/holiday spices (like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg etc.) to the vanilla base. Do you think the spices would burn or throw off the flavor?

        Hi Miranda. Fall spiced pizzelle sounds like a great idea! I think the spices will be fine in terms of not burning. If you do decide to add the Fall spices I would omit the anise portion of the recipe. I think the anise would throw the Fall spices off.
        Let me know how it comes out! I am always looking for new recipe variations for these pizzelle to share with readers πŸ™‚
