Pizzelle Cookies

Pizzelles – crisp, flat, and oh so versatile, they are to pastry what biscuits are to baking. They can be stamped in a variety of shapes using whatever iron you have. Some pizzelle irons have designs that are geometric and formal looking while others are more arabesque and romantic.

I make pizzelles for a great number of pastry items (ice cream cones, cookie sandwiches, or even by themselves as cookies) and if they are kept tightly covered can be stored for up to a week to save time during busy holiday events.
