In The Netherlands we have those too, mostly in the northern part, we call those kniepertjes. And we sometimes also roll little tubes out of them, (called rolletjes) and fill those up with sweet whipped cream. (I can imagine them with vanilla-sweet-cheese-creme as well, but I can imagine a lot ;) ) Happy baking!

My grandparents were Italian and always had these whenever we went to visit- So much nostalgia! ^-^

Used your recipe for pizzelles , family said they were my best effort yet . Thank you

Some how my grandma gets a hold of fresh pizzelles every year at Christmas and I just love them.

I just started making them for the holidays and for the first time I used a vintage Pizzelle maker that you use on a gas stove. They came out incredible

Yeah yeah everybody’s Italian grandmother made these everywhere! lol 👍🏽

I'm Italian and I make at least 100 of these with my grandma each Christmas and Easter to take to huge parties, they are one of my favorite cookies just based on the simplicity and how you can mix them up.

Great recipe, I'll have to do these! You kept mentioning "grandma". All I can say for all of you who are reading this...ENJOY your Grandma's while they are living because we only get one set and the memories are priceless!

I love that you made them with vanilla and almond and lemon zest!! My grandmother made them with anise and orange zest... and I could never get into them... can't wait to try them this way! .

@adriphat you cant. These require a pizzelle maker. You can order one online they are inexpensive and a great tool to have.

I get so happy when i see one of your videos are up, definitely recommending you to everyone I know, thank you!

Surprised to learn you prefer non-anise seed pizzelles! Just made a batch last night & wanted to check out your how-to... I'd love to have you taste our family ones...instead of anise extract, we use anise seeds soaked in annisete liquor - So subtle & Yum! (Fun to see these older video!)

When yu were creating them I was like "I HAVE ALL OF THAT STUFF!!" then yu said pizzelle maker nd I was like "shoot" hahaha

You crack your eggs so perfectly! Mine always look like my dog sat on it.

You are adorable! Love the way you present and explain your recipes! Going to make these today...planning on shaping them into ice cream cone shapes, filling them with Chocolate Bonbons and gifting, along with other candies in cellophane bags!

I absolutely love pizzles but just learned they are typically made at Easter. I’ve always made them for Christmas 😊

My grandmother makes these whenever she comes to visit! The Grandma Pacillo Recipe! :D Love love love love love love love these! Best cookies ever!

Laura I have the same pizzelle maker as you! Just used it for the first time tonight. Turned out great!

I've just become interested in these and have watched several recipes. This is the first that puts all the ingredients together at once; very simple. I might get the little Dash appliance to try them. Thanks.

my best friend made these and i loved them!!!

your recipe worked out great loved it

3:46 lmao !! How she said "and" made me laugh so much that i just dropped my pizzelle on the floor !!

@MyBubblyBintea a waffle maker will not work for these. They require a pizzelle maker. You can buy it online and it's not very expensive

So I finally got a pizzelle press yesterday. And I need these today. They are so good!

These are so good yummy thank you ! :)

@mir534th thank you so much!! :D

You are AMAZING! Having the level of expertise at your incredibly young age!! All the food looks great!! Thx for very informational posts!! I LOVE, love, love Italian food!!

that would be amazing, perfect! I was thinking, how nice they would be with a thin layer of melted chocolate, or lemon icing glaze on them.

I make this for my step dad who is Italian he grew up eating them. It's so easy to make and it's delicious

Pizzelles!!! We use to eat these all the time living in Italy. Us girls would make them with my mom. Watching you video brought back memories. We know live in a state where there are a lot of Norwegians. They make them as well but they call them krumkake, same recipe though.

Interesting that your family makes these for Easter. We've always made them as a special treat at Christmas.

Sweetie… you should try anise OIL. It makes all the difference!

They look good. Almond flavor is a good choice but I love anise. Might do both.

Your recipe is similar to my grandmother's however, we use a combination of Anise & Butter Rum oil. I also make Orange & Cardamom pizzelles. I find that extracts cook out most of the flavor due to the very nature of the pizzelle iron.

thank you. for your video of how to make a pizelle quickly, w/versatile options for the everyday simple American.

they are amazing with nutella in the middle my nonna made it for me when i was a child

i love your recipes!

you seriously make me feel so at home

can you make a video on the chocolate pizzelles please? :) i love all of your videos and recipes!!!

Im italian and i love to make these:) making these next week

watching this video made me happy. Even tho i cant make them, they look good.

Your version is the first that put all ingredients in at once And use a mixer. I just bought my Pizzelles machine. So I will have fun experimenting!

*yayyyyy* i become so happy when i see your new video on my subscription page :D :D u're the best chef

OMG so that's what they are called! I rememer eating them at the amusement park when I was little. I used to hold the circle in the middle with my fingers and eat around it, saving it for last :) Italian traditional food is soo yummy~

Forget the recipes im subscribing just to see you!!!!

When i was little, we went to Italy every summer and I remember my Nonna would put vanilla ice cream between two pizzelles. And my cousins, my brother, and I would eat them all before she had finished filling them. :) VIVA ITALIA!

Whoa, that pizzelle maker looks COOOOL. :)

@vicensz You could use the green lemons or limes or any other citrus like an orange. She was saying that the batter can be to sweet so the lemon zest is sour and cuts the sweetness. So really you can use whatever you have!

Hey sis I make all Italian foods and love doing it!!!!!

I agree with you, I prefer almond flavor instead of Anice!!! WOW you make pizzelle too? You are absolutely amazing!

It’s all we use are flour, eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar and they are delish!!

I love the way you enjoy preparing a recipe, also I´ m in troubles because I love your channel, but I want to keep this as a secret XD lol!

Hi Laura, Chinese new year is around the corner. I hope to see a 'love letter' recipe. it can be done with a pizelle maker :)

You could also spread some Nutella on two of them and sandwich them together, Or melted chocolate, or choc. with marshmallow cream, or warm peanut butter and chocolate.or garlic spread. Just checking to see if you're alert..

omgg I always wanted to make these! O:

My grandmother always made with them anise, they were delicious

Peets-zel. I like that pizzel maker, makes them nice and thin!

Thank you, very much! You help me a lot!! :))

thank you for this recipe Laura! =) Can you make a chocolate Indulgence cake recipe? thank you

Add the anisette seeds instead of liquid because they are crispier.

Can I make these pizelle cookies using a sugar substitute like Stevie (for baking) instead of real sugar ? My husband is diabetic and I'm always looking for SF cookie recipes.

Hi, Laura. Thanks for the great recipes. Can i freeze pizzelle batter then cook them a couple weeks later?

i think that the machine you used is exactly what a waffle cone maker is (which i have one) its just sperated out into three sections for the cookies.. so im thinking i would use the recipe and put it in my waffle cone maker (which they come out as think as those cookies) and just cut them into quarters, right???

me and my mom would always make Krumkake. its really similar to Pizzelle, but its a Norwegian cookie type thing! :)

Thanks!

my pépé would usually use anise, had a delicious licorice flavor. YUM!

i've made pizzelles for a long time and i always use pure anisette oil... would fill the house with the smell which i like... even the cat would beeline to the kitchen....hahahaha. i had an old school pizelle maker.. not teflon.. 2 bigger ones at a time.. i dont use teflon anything in my house... thing about pizelles.... you cant eat just one..so you have to make a lot of them. some of my italian friends put anise seeds in the batter too and thats great also .

Amazing

you can eat this with nutella and it is soooooo GOOD!

These are great. Any chance you could make a video on how to make tort wafers? Thanks.

I Laura is there an Italian Christmas cookie that looks like these, can you make them? yum, thank you Laura!

I love pizelles, my noni still makes them all the time!

I'm gonna try this with a waffle maker, even though you say it's not possible - I'm just gonna put this batter into my waffle maker!:)

@adriphat you could use this batter if you didn't have a pizzelle maker and just treat them like crepes on the stove... I did and they are yummy.

And for Christmas! I us anise flavor but very light!

maybe if you're good, Santa will bring you one for Christmas :P

This woman had a good childhood :D

@chicagofrank2010 I can't agree. The one's I've tried in the store are 1) way too expensive 2) hard as rocks and not very tasty. Splurge, buy the pizzelle maker, believe me you won't regret it. As Laura points out, you can make cookies, cannoli's ice cream sandwiches and cups to hold custard and berry desserts.

you should have your own cooking show! :)

Are they crispy?

I had no idea what pizzelles were and now I do!

My Nanna doesn't have a pizzelle maker, and she does then on a crepe pan, and rolls them. Still yummy. Pipe in some whipped cream, and OMG!

could you make lemon cookies?? thanx laura i love you!!

so, I am Italian and I live in Italy and is the first time I see these

Laura can you make raspberry cheesecake cookies please?I tried them from subway and I want to make them! Who better to make the recipe than Laura Vitale? XD Thumbs up if you like the same!! ;)thanks!!

Laura, for odd flavored pizelles like, who knows bubblegum, do i use the flavoring of that flavor then keep the recipe the same?

very nice ....

Can you please recommend a reasonably priced pizelle maker? Preferably one easily available. I would like to make for this Christmas. Thanks. :)

For the cost of the machine you can just buy them in the store and they taste the same. Good video btw

I love anise though♥️

@Kassidycravescake i dont know if it will work, but try it with only little bit of batter

could i make these with a sandwich presser in stead?? i don't have a pizzelle maker but i would like to try these.

Try Anise seeds more flavorful!

Wow, this is SO similar to Krum Cakes(Google Translater.. Eheh...) Here in Norway we have just the same thing- just we call it Krum Cakes(Again, Google Translater) and use another ''maker''. Also, here in Norway we bake it at Christmas times. ^-^ (Bad English, I know.)

Looks a lot like the traditional Love Letters I've eaten. The difference? The batter is a little runny, so you get a really thin and crispy rolled up Love Letters. I miss the Lunar New Year now....

I wonder how hard it would be to turn this into a stroopwafel recipe??

Omg if I had a pizzelle maker I'd be making batches of these all the time. Where would one find one of these? I don't ever remember seeing them anywhere.

@LauraVitalesKitchen Hi, Laura. I love all you're cooking videos but sometimes there is always a maker that I don't have like a Pizzele maker. So in these kinds of videos, could you recommend another way to cook them or at least where you got them from? Thank you!

I like yr cooking.

I would love just to come to ur house for dinner :D
