Pizzelles are a recently added tradition to my holiday baking. I was introduced to them through my Great Aunt Julia who made this cookie for her Italian husband. She made them most of her married life. Fifteen years ago when I moved to the town where she lives she introduced me to these cookies and I've made every year since! Now I enjoy making them with my friends for the cookie bake, two who are Italian and get a few extras!
*Note: You must use a pizzelle iron to make these cookies
