How to Make Pumpkin Pizzelles

  1. Preheat your pizzelle iron to the manufacturer's recommended temperature.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Lightly brush the preheated pizzelle iron with butter or cooking spray. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of the hot iron.
  6. Close the lid and bake for 34-60 seconds, or until golden brown and crispy. Baking time may vary depending on your iron; check frequently after 30 seconds.
  7. Carefully remove the pizzelle using a spatula. While still warm, you can gently shape them into cones, rolls, or shallow bowls. Alternatively, let them cool flat.
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 until all the batter is used, brushing the iron with butter or cooking spray as needed.
  9. Once cooled, dust your delicious Pumpkin Pizzelles with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
