Watermelon Pride Pizzelle 🍉🏳️🌈
Traditionally, these cookies are flavored with anise, and in my personal recipe I add even MORE anise. But, this batch I made at the request of my partner. Instead of adding anise to the dough, I added super concentrated watermelon extract. And let me tell you, they turned out so delicious!
MY TOP TIPS FOR MAKING PIZZELLES
🏳️🌈 For a crispier and more flavorful cookie use an oil based recipe over ones that contain butter.
🏳️🌈Use a piping bag to transfer your batter onto your iron. This cuts down on the mess!
🏳️🌈It’s all about the timing. When the sound of sizzling from my iron slows, that is how I know my cookies are ready to go.
🏳️🌈DO NOT stack your cookies until they are entirely cool. The steam from the cookies will get trapped and prevent you from getting that perfectly crispy finish.
🏳️🌈After your pizzelles have come off the iron and have had a minute on a cooling rack, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 220F for 30 minutes in the oven. This will dry them out and ensure you’ll get that perfect snap.
These cookies are part of my DAILY Pride series. FOLLOW ME for a new Pride creation every day in June.
