Classic Pizzelles
Classic Pizzelles are a light and crispy Italian waffle cookie. These are flavored with only vanilla to let their buttery goodness shine through. However, they can be dressed up with a sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar or melted chocolate, or flavored with lemon zest or the more traditional anise. However served, these classic pizzelles are perfect for dessert, the holidays, or anytime you want a special treat.
