Ingredients
•
3 eggs, beaten
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
3/4 cup butter, softened
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon anise extract
•
cooking spray
•
1/4 cup powdered sugar, or to taste
Directions

Preheat a pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
2
Beat eggs, sugar, and butter together using an electric mixer. Add flour and extracts; beat until combined.
3
Spray the inside of iron lightly with cooking spray.
4
Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into the center of each pizzelle grid. Close lid and bake until steam stops and cookies are light golden brown, 45 to 60 seconds.
