Frequently Asked Questions:
What are almond pizzelles?
Almond pizzelles are iconic Italian cookies born centuries ago in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Standing the test of time, these ancient cookies are popular all around the world, known for their distinct round, super thin shape and their crisp, waffle-like texture. These beautiful cookies are made with the help of a pizzelle iron, or pizzelle maker, where they are pressed between two plates to create their unmistakable ornate pattern. Traditionally, homemade pizzelles are created with oil or butter, eggs, flour, sugar and baking powder—along with flavors like cocoa, lemon, anise or vanilla. Their stunning appearance makes them a popular feature for Christmas cookie trays and holiday dessert arrangements, but they can be enjoyed any time of the year with hot cocoa, espresso, coffee or tea.
What does pizzelle mean in Italian?
The name pizzelle comes from the Italian word pizze, which translates to “round and flat.” The end of the word pizzelle, -elle, refers to its small size.
