pizzelle
Pressed anise wafer
Pizzelle are thin, crisp Italian cookies made by pressing batter between the plates of a special hinged iron, producing a decorative waffle-like pattern.
Traditionally flavored with anise, they're a staple of Italian-American holiday celebrations.
The iron creates distinctive snowflake or floral imprints: She made dozens of pizzelle for the Christmas cookie tray.
