Pizzelles
"This is an Italian anise cookie that is made on a Pizelle iron. I make these at Christma, but should make them all year as I just love them. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and they are so pretty and good."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt the butter and cool slightly.
Step 2
Beat eggs and sugar till smooth; add the cooled butter; mix well.
Step 3
Add anise and mix; add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Step 4
Heat the Pizzelle iron and place a rounded spoonful of dough in the center of the design; dough will be slightly soft. NOTE: You may want to discard the first couple as I always use them as a test.
Step 5
Press handles of iron together for just a short time till the pizzelle is done--take off and cool.
Step 6
NOTE: These freeze well; when ready to serve, sift confectioners sugar over them. I don't know exactly how many they make, but lots; am only guessing.
