I developed this pizzelle recipe, by modifying my mothers recipe and my mother gave me the best compliment ever - telling me she "truly likes my version better". Well, that sure made my day and I sure hope that you give my recipe a try, and I hope that it will make your day as well :)

Ivo’s Pizzelle Recipe
Ingredients
• 160 gr all-purpose flour (~1 ¾ Cups) (sifted if possible)
• 1 TSP Baking Powder
• 1/8 TSP cinnamon
• 3 XL Eggs (or large eggs are also fine)
• 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
• 2 TSP Vanilla
• 1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Regular Olive Oil
• 1TBSP Honey (optional - for added sweetness)
• 2 TBSP Anisette Liquor (this is optional) (or use 1 TBSP Annise Extract, also optional)
Process
• Put the flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl, and whisk together - set aside.
• In another bowl, add the eggs and the brown sugar. Beat them with a hand blender for about 2 - 3 minutes. Then add the vanilla, olive oil and anisette (and optional honey), beat for another 15 seconds, and then pour into your other bowl, with the flour mixture in it
• Mix (a firm spatula works great) and continue to mix until all the flour has been absorbed. Your batter is now ready.
• Pre-heat your Pizzelle maker, when it is ready, add a heaping TBSP of batter per cookie, close lid and cook for 40 - 60 seconds. Time will vary based on your pizzelle maker, amount of heat, and the amount of batter. Basically, you want to see a light golden color.
• Remove form maker and place on a cooling rack (the pizzelle come out of the maker soft, but as they cool, they firm up)
• Continue this process until all batter is used. Depending on the size of your cookies and the thickness of your machine, you could yield anywhere from 14 - 20 pizzelle, again, depending.
• If you store the pizzelle in a plastic bag, they will stay firm, but soft. If you store them in a paper bag, or tin cookie box, they will stay firm, but will be harder and they will also keep longer this way as well
• Enjoy
