My favorite cookies in the world! [View All]

[hippywife]

We just made some more pizzelle, chocolate and anise ones. These are the Christmas tradition in my family. They are so light and crisp, very thin and not terribly sweet at all. Very hard to stop eating once you start! Well for me, anyway. LOL

This is the third time this week we've made them. Sunday we made three batches, about 6 dozen chocolate ones, split them up and took them to both of our jobs. Later in the week, we made the anise ones (the traditional flavor and my personal favorite) and did the same. They both were big hits at work. People had never seen or heard of them before and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I see no reason to reserve these for the holidays alone. Since they don't require the oven, they would be a perfect cookie to make in the summer without heating up the whole house.
