Pizzelle iron is needed to make these cookies, but they are so good that I would recommend buying one! From my friend Dianne's aunt, these are heavenly. Prep time does not include overnite chilling, and cook time is a guesstimate as everyones iron cooks differently. You may have to experiment with a few cookies before you get the hang of it.
Ingredients:
10 eggs, beaten
1 lb soft butter
1/4 cup vanilla extract
1/4 cup rum (real liquor)
4 cups sugar
6 cups sifted flour (maybe more)
1 dash salt
Directions:
1. Add sugar, vanilla, butter and rum to the beaten eggs.
2. Gradually add sifted flour and salt.
3. Chill dough overnight.
4. Cookies are baked in a special PIZZELLE iron over the stove top or in an electric one.
5. If you don't have a iron don't make these cookies.
6. Drop by spoonful onto the bottom half of a hot ungreased PIZZELLE iron.
7. Fold top of iron onto dough and cook according to your irons dirctions.
8. Usually about 30-45 seconds.
9. (The first cookie usually burns).
10. Turn out hot cookie on rack or cookie sheet to cool.
11. Continue until al the dough is used up.
12. How many cookies you get will be determined by the size of your iron.
13. Once cooled these stack together nicely and are a crisp light wafer with a design.
