A pizzelle iron is what you HAVE to have to make the pizzelle recipe. It's one of those specialized appliances for this particular Italian Cookie Recipe.

A pizzelle iron can be compared to a waffle iron in the way it operates. You pour the batter in - wait for the light - add the cookie batter - let 'er cook - and then take out your pizzelle.

Ok that's if the world operates at it's optimum.

I'm not gonna lie - these really aren't an easy to make cookie. You need a good iron first - and then second you need to know your own pizzelle iron. It's like a waffle iron - yours might take more batter than your mom's waffle iron. Know what I mean? It's those little nuances that can make you cry.

A couple things about working this iron and buying one - get a name brand iron if you wish to buy one - and I put some tips below! I put some links to the reputable manufacturers - and retailer (Amazon).
