Although they can be served year-round, pizzelle with a spicy gingerbread flavor taste like the winter holidays. If you want, ice them. Keep in a container that is well sealed.

Reviews
I doubled the spices, and the flavor was still mild. Flavor was better the next day, but then they lost their crispness, as with any pizelle recipe.
These don’t even taste like gingerbread. I suggest upping all the spices except for black pepper. maybe the ginger should be 1 Tablespoon?
