Equipment

1 Pizzelle Cookie Iron or electric pizzelle maker

Ingredients

15 TBSP sugar (almost 1 cup)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4-5 cups flour
6 eggs melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
15 TBSP melted butter (almost 2 full sticks)

Instructions

Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, baking powder, salt, and flour, whisk to combine.
Then, add the beaten eggs and melted butter until fully combined.
Next, knead to form a soft dough.
After that, using a tablespoon size cookie scoop begin to roll cookie dough into ping pong ball size dough balls.
Cook cookies: Begin to place balls of dough, one at a time, in the iron, cooking on a gas stove about one minute per side. If you are using an electric pizzelle maker cook each batch for 2 minutes.
Remove them from the iron, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle each cookie with your choice of topping.
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes, serve warm and enjoy!
