Step 1

Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Gradually add sugar, mixing until smooth.

Step 3

Stir in melted butter, anise (optional), and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Sift flour and baking powder into another large bowl. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture, blending with a wooden spoon until smooth (dough will be sticky!)

Step 5

Heat pizzelle iron on medium heat (or if using an iron that lights, wait until light turns on). Open iron and scoop a tablespoon of batter into the center (or use a cookie scoop). Close iron, squeezing handles together.

Step 6

If iron is a flippable kind, wait until the batter sizzles and flip. If not, simply wait until cookie is golden brown, checking frequently (around 30 seconds). Turn frequently to ensure both sides are evenly cooked.

Step 7

Transfer cookie to wire cooling rack. Repeat for each cookie.

Step 8

Sprinkle powdered sugar on the cooled cookies using the sifter.
