Steps:
- Whisk together your eggs, sugar, vanilla and anise (see how to anise above) in a medium bowl.
- Now add your flour, salt and baking powder and mix it well until there are no lumps and it looks smooth.
- Now add your melted butter and mix that in to your mixture.
- Pre-heat your pizzelle maker. They are all a little different so follow the manufacturers instructions for this.
- Once it is heated, add a heaping tablespoon of your thick dough to the middle of each of your pizzelle areas on the iron. Close and cook for about 30-45 seconds until it is a light golden color. If the pizzelle is too light in color you can just close the pizzelle maker and cook the pizzelle for a few more seconds.
- Once they are cooked, remove the pizzelles from the iron (they will still be soft and pliable at this point) and place on a cooling rack where they will cool and get nice and crispy. Keep doing this until all the dough is used up!
- Once all of your pizzelles are fully cooked and cooled, you can go ahead and clean them up if you would like by lightly breaking off any parts of the pizzelle that went beyond the design edge. I find this to be relaxing but it is not necessary :)

PIZZELLE-ITALIAN TRADITION

Steps:
- Warm up a pizzelle iron.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar until frothy and beginning to thicken (about 2-3 minutes).
- On low speed, add the extracts and melted butter to egg mixture in a steady stream and mix for 30 seconds.
- Slowly add the dry mixture to wet and blend just until combined. Your batter will resemble a soft and sticky dough.
- Spray pizzelle iron lightly with baking spray.
- Drop 1 tablespoon of batter on hot pizzelle press.
- Close press and cook for about 1 minute or until light indicated cookies are done (cookies should be slightly golden).
- Use a fork to lift pizzelle off the press and transfer to a cookie rack or plate to cool down (keep in mind that they should lay flat. While they are hot, they will mold into another shape if they're not completely flat).
- Spray iron again and repeat process until you finish all the batter.
- Dust with confectioner's sugar and ENJOY!

ITALIAN PIZZELLE COOKIES
This recipe comes from my Italian aunt, who every Christmas makes some of the best cookies. You can substitute vanilla and lemon extract for flavor variation. Sometimes it helps to be smarter than a 5th grader when you make these.
