Pizzelles

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat pizzelle iron.
2. 2
   Cream together eggs and sugar, then add melted margarine that has been cooled and anise extract.
3. 3
   Add flour and baking powder and mix until smooth. Add anise seeds and mix well. If batter is too thick add water a tablespoon at a time until it is the desired consistency.
4. 4
   Using a teaspoon, drop one spoonful of batter on iron for each cookie.
5. 5
   Hint: I place the batter in a Ziploc bag and snip off one small corner (like a pastry bag) and squeeze out a teaspoon-sized dollop on the iron for each cookie. It gives you better control and is MUCH less sticky. And clean-up, well... much easier!
