Reviews
these are so good but I put a whole bottle of anise in it and left out the vanilla. they are so good, been making them for years now…
I made the recipe exactly as written and they were delicious! First time making Pizzelle’s and I will definitely be making them again!
I hate to say this but this was horrible. I used all fresh ingredients including fresh flour. I couldn’t taste the anise flavor at all. Plus it was way too sweet.
We loved these. I’m guessing our older Vitantonio “Pizzelle Chef” is smaller than other pizzelle irons, this recipe made 36, and they cooked in 15-20 seconds. The only time they weren’t crispy was when I didn’t cook them long enough – and we didn’t add the extra flour. I’m sure everyone will have to experiment a bit with their own irons. We don’t like anise flavor so did 5 tsp Vanilla and 3 tsp cinnamon, they were great! My 11-year-old co-chefs rolled some of them up while still hot and filled them with whipped cream (like a cannoli).
Excellent recipe. If you want a thinner, crisp, crunchy cookie; substitute gluten-free flour mix for all-purpose flour. It’s so good that I not only used it for my daughter who has Celiac disease, I made gluten-free version for the whole family. Rave reviews.
I made these today, but didn’t add the anise. They came out really good, will use this recipe again.
Very good but I thought I had to be a typo that the recipe called for 1/4 cup of anise seed. That’s way too much! I only used about 2 tablespoons and that seemed like too much.
no
So good! I didn’t have the anise flavor or seeds but they were still good!
I followed the recipe and felt there was hardly any flavor. my pizelles were so thin that they broke when you picked them up. not the recipe I am searching for.
Fantastic. Other than the quantity of anise, these are just the consistency of my mother’s pizzelli. Thank you!! They’re much lighter and much more tasty than the other recipes on this site. I used a rounded teaspoon of anise seeds and no anise extract. I like my anise flavor to be subtle.
Excellent recipe. Came out perfectly. I did sprinkle some powdered sugar on them while still warm. Delicious!
Excellent recipe! Made some for my niece to mail in a card today. I left out anise extract as I didn’t have it and replaced it with extra tablespoon of anise seeds. Very forgiving recipe. Crispy and delicious!
If you want your pizelles to come out thin and crisp you need to hold the handle on your waffle iron down while they bake. Squeeze tight and they won’t come out “cookie-like” but so thin and crispy you can see through them.
Quick and easy but did not use Anise seeds
Love these. Making 2 at a time takes a bit of time.
The flavor was good, but it made extremely thin pizzelles- I could see through them. Next time I’ll follow the advice for the “thicker” pizzelles and add the extra 1/2 cup of flour.
Flavor was great! But the cookies came out soft, and I wanted them crispy and light.
super easy worked great in my pizzelle maker. First to last batch came out perfect. Always before I had half the dough sticking to the iron. Great flavor left the anise out and just used vanilla otherwise followed the recipe exactly.
Makes very good pizzelles.
was out of anise extract so we substituted almond extract…family loved the taste & texture
