How to Make Nick's Pizzelle Cookies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of anise extract.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron if needed.
  5. Pour approximately 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pizzelle iron, depending on the size of your iron.
  6. Close the iron and cook for 20-30 seconds, or until golden brown and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on your iron.
  7. Carefully remove the pizzelle from the iron using a spatula and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Once cooled, store your pizzelle cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
