Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your pizzelle iron.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until it becomes slightly frothy.
  • Add in the spices and salt, mix well.
  • Add the melted butter, vinegar, and molasses, mix again.
  • Add the flour and baking soda, mix until fully combined.
  • Lightly oil the pizzelle iron
  • Scoop about one tablespoon of batter onto the open iron, you may need to adjust how much batter you use per cookie based on the iron you're using. Close the lid and cook the pizzelle for approximately 45 seconds, check and cook longer as needed. The cookies should be golden when they are done.
  • Use a thin heat safe spatula (a pie server works well) and gently lift the pizzelle off of the iron. Place the cookie onto a wire cooling rack. As the cookie cools it will become crisp.
  • When cooled, eat as-is or dust with a generous amount of powdered sugar.
  • Store in an airtight container.
