After cleaning out my pantry I found my pizzelle maker. I decided to make a few cookies. Traditional pizzelles have anise in them. YUCK! These are vanilla and they taste like a waffle cone. 2 things I realized: 1-making the perfect cookie will not happen and 2-the batter gives you LOTS of practice!
I am also pro-anise, but also pro-vanilla, so both sound glorious. (mmm, cookies!!!)
Also my mother makes super fancy decorated cookies, and she keeps telling people that if they were perfect you couldn’t eat them, so imperfect is better.
