Chocolate Orange Pizelles

The classic Italian cookie passed from Aunt Vi to my Grandma Aurora, reworked into a chocolate orange variety. Grandma always made the traditional anise flavor and sometimes almond, but the recipe card given to me gives options for a lemon or orange cookie. I decided to try chocolate orange instead and it turned out better than I had hoped.

3 cups All purpose flour

3 teaspoons Baking powder combine dry ingredients except sugar

6 tablespoons Cocoa Powder

1/2 Orange juice and zest

1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Beat eggs and blend in sugar, oil, and butter. Add orange juice and zest to wet ingredients. Mix together flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder, then gradually add it to the wet ingredients.

Very easy to make for a quick treat, as long as you have a Pizelle press. I added candy sprinkles to the mix and also dipped the edges in melted mint chocolate once they were cooled off.
