Pizzelles are one of my favorite cookies. Light and delicate, pizelles are the perfect shower food for a baby shower or bridal shower. The simple addition of color personalizes the pizzelles to match the baby's gender or the bride's colors.

I have been debating the purchase of a pizelle maker for years. The problem is that I tend to be a kitchen gadget junkie. I try to only buy a kitchen gadget that can be used for at least two different purposes. My friend offered to let me borrow hers so I could play around with it. I ordered my own pizelle maker about an hour after making my first batch!

I didn't want to just make plain, boring pizelles so I decided to add some color. After making the batter, I divided it up and added food dye. I ended up with pink, purple, and yellow for some fun spring colors. I never quite got the amount of batter exactly right in the pizzelle maker. I always just a little too much or a tad too little, but with more practice, I know I'll figure it out. The measurement is somewhere between 1-2 teaspoons. The pizelles turned out beautifully anyway.

I decided to see if I could roll the pizzelles while they were still hot in to a cone shape. I didn't use a mold – I just rolled them around in to a cone and it worked great. We could use them either as ice cream cones or fill them with fruit, pudding, or cream for a fun and beautiful dessert. These would be so pretty filled with some yummy goodness for a shower! Or even just filled with candy and wrapped up prettily as a favor for guests to take on their way out.

I made two mistakes with my pizelles, which you can learn from! The first few batches I left in the pizzelle maker too long and, as you can see above, they have a brownish tint to them. The pizelles literally only need a few seconds to cook and keep their pretty colors.

I also made the mistake of making my pizzelles with anise extract and pretty much didn't get any anise flavor at all. My friend told me that you actually have to use anise oil to get a nice strong anise flavor. If you don't have, or like, anise then any extract or oil you love will work just fine!
