Pizzelle biscuits

My mom used to make these Italian pizzelle cookies over the holidays when I was growing up and my family loves them. I decided to play around with my mom's pizzelle cookie recipe to see if I could make them with less butter and sugar. This lighter version of the traditional was delicious and mine, to be honest, you can't tell! For more light Christmas cookies, try my White Chocolate Oatmeal Lace Cookies and Coconut Cookies.

I love baking on vacation. To make sure I don't eat everything I bake, I like to give the sweets to neighbors and friends. These Pizzelle Biscuits would make excellent gifts wrapped in a cute clear bag or holiday tin. I tested them with Bobs Redmill gluten-free flour and they came out just as good, if not better.

How To Make Pizzelle Cookies

You will need a pizza maker to bake these cookies. Pizza irons work similarly to waffle irons. I recommend buying a non-stick one.

To make the pizzelle biscuits, beat the egg, egg whites, and sugar, then stir in the wet ingredients (butter, milk, and vanilla). Next, mix in the flour and baking powder. Heat the iron and spray lightly. Put 1 tablespoon of batter on each circle and press it down. Transfer to a refrigerated shelf before storage.

What is the difference between Krumkake and Pizzelle?

A pizzelle is a traditional Italian sugar cookie that is simply served or rolled into a cone and filled with fruit, cream, or ice cream. Krumkake is a thin, delicately embossed Norwegian biscuit that is usually rolled into a cone while warm and flexible.

What does pizzelle mean in Italian?

Pizzelle means “small, flat, round” in Italian, and that is exactly what Pizzelle biscuits are.

Variations and tips:

Sub the vanilla extract for anise, orange, lemon or almond extract to change the taste.
Spread the Nutella on one pizzelle and top with another to make a pizzelle biscuit sandwich.
Dip a portion of the biscuit in chocolate and let it harden in the refrigerator to make a chocolate-coated pizzelle.
You can also roll them on a dowel to form a cone before they harden.
Rolled pizza cells can be used as cannoli clams.
Pizzelle biscuits should keep for up to a month in a well-sealed container.
