Description
Crisp and delicate Italian pizzelle cookies flavored with vanilla and dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup melted butter
3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar
Instructions
Lightly spray your pizzelle iron with cooking spray and plug it in to preheat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Add the melted butter, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.
Pour two tablespoons of batter onto the hot pizzelle iron. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
Close the pizzelle maker and cook the cookies for about 45 seconds, or until they turn a light golden brown and easily lift from the plates.
Remove the pizzelle carefully using tongs and place them on a cooling rack.
Repeat until all the batter is used.
Once cooled, dust the pizzelle cookies with powdered sugar using a sifter.
Notes
Use a non-stick cooking spray to prevent the pizzelle from sticking to the iron.
Make sure the iron is fully heated before adding batter for best results.
Allow cookies to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
