Description:

Growing up, my grandmother used to make the most beautiful pizzelles. They were so delicious and rich, and for me, they were always one of my favorite Italian desserts. There was something special in these cookies, and I just had to know what made them so yummy. I was lucky because this was one of the recipes that she wanted to pass down to me. For years I would make these pizzelles and people would ask me what the secret was. So, what is the secret to these delicious cookies? It's anise. Once you put anise in your pizzelles, you'll be asking yourself how you've eaten a pizzelle without it all these years! How do we make these in the style of WFPB without any added sugar?
