How To Make Chocolate Chip Pizzelles

Pizzelles are very easy to make, and don’t worry if you do not have a pizzelle iron, a waffle iron will work too! The cookies may be a little thicker but you will have the same great taste!

Let’s get started! First melt the butter in the small microwavable dish and set aside so it can cool for a few minutes. Then beat the eggs with an electric hand mixer until foamy. Add in the melted butter and sugar and beat until well incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Next, add the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the mixture. Beat until the dough comes together, the dough will be thick but soft. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. I used a half a cup of chips, but if you like a more chocolatey cookie, add in a cup.

Heat your pizzelle iron or waffle iron. I wait until now to plug mine since it doesn’t take long to warm up. If yours take longer, plug when you start making the batter. Even you if you have a pizzelle iron, a waffle iron is a fun twist on the shape and texture but same taste.

Measure heaping tablespoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) onto your hot iron and press. Cook for about 45 – 60 seconds depending on the desired crispiness. I like them soft so mine are more like 45 seconds but if you want them really crispy I would press them for one minute.

Cool the cookie on a wire rack and continue with the remaining batter. Store in an airtight container. Pizzelles keep very well in the freezer.
