Pizzelle

The Italian biscuit known as pizzelle is thin and crunchy. The pizzelle cookie, which dates back to the seventh century B.C., is the oldest cookie recipe ever discovered, according to the Food Network. The typical waffle components of flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, butter, and vanilla are used to make the traditional vanilla pizzelle cookie. Additionally, you'll discover that adding lemon zest gives your pizzelle cookies a jolt of freshness.

Use a non-stick pizzelle iron to press the ideal form when you're ready to manufacture your pizzelle. The pizzelle, unlike a traditional waffle, is only made with a tiny dollop of batter to create its thin crust, so it's crucial to avoid overworking your press. You can remove the cookies from the press once they have finished baking by using a wooden skewer or spatula. Then, top off your cookies with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a hot cup of tea, or for a decadent treat, dip them in hot chocolate.
