Einkorn Pizzelle

These crispy Italian cookies feel sophisticated yet are quick to pull together, only requiring one bowl. You will need a special pizzelle iron (or press) to make these holiday treats, but you’ll get many years of enjoyment out of it! Cooked einkorn pizzelle are very simple, they’re slightly sweet and vanilla-scented, which makes them perfect for endless decorating possibilities—dusted with powdered sugar, dipped in chocolate, sprinkled with nuts, and more!

Instructions

1. Preheat pizzelle iron.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. The batter will be thick and sticky.
3. Scoop and drop a large tablespoon of batter into each pizzelle section of the iron and close.
4. Bake according to manufacturer instructions.
5. Remove each pizzelle with a pair of small tongs or a spatula and place on a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar (optional).
7. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Note: If your iron is not non-stick, you may want to lightly coat the interior plates with vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray before use. Disregard this step if your pizzelle iron is non-stick.
