Delight in the crispy and flavorful Vanilla Anise Pizzelle Cookies, perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick.
Whisking the eggs and sugar thoroughly ensures a light and airy batter.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Then, mix it into the egg mixture along with the vanilla and anise extracts.
Allowing the butter to cool prevents it from cooking the eggs.
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gradually add them to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Sifting the dry ingredients helps avoid lumps in the batter.
Preheat the pizzelle iron. Place a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the center of the iron, close the lid, and cook for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.
Cooking times may vary depending on your pizzelle iron, so keep an eye on the color.
Carefully remove the pizzelle using a fork and place them on a cooling rack to cool and crisp up.
Work quickly to shape the pizzelle if desired, as they harden as they cool.
Serve the pizzelle as is or shape them into cones and fill with sweetened ricotta or whipped cream for a special treat.
Shaping the pizzelle adds a decorative touch and makes them perfect for filling.
