Piastrelle Italian Waffle Cookie

These are a favorite Italian cookie. I got this recipe from an Italian woman I used to work with years ago. If you can't find oil of anise, you can use a teaspoon of anise extract.

They are called Pizzelle' s My Dad & Nana was the Greatest Italian cook/baker . Other people used to call him just to buy them from him! Dad was a high ranking cook in the Marine Corps. It's no wonder he learned from his mother who baked & cooked for Weddings :-)
