Experience the Holidays: Xmas Pizzelle Cookies! I’m obsessed with food that has eye appeal. That’s one reason I was drawn to pizzelles, a traditional Italian waffle cookie. I could make you crazy by telling you we’re going to make them from scratch, but hey, my time is in high demand just like yours. Besides, since I don’t own a pizzelle iron, sometimes it’s better to leave things to an expert. I’m here today to save you time when someone suggests a Holiday Cookie Exchange. Pick up a package of Classic Italian Pizzelles on your way home from work, dip the cookies in melted chocolate, and sprinkle with nuts. You can thank me later when you’re sitting back relaxing with a glass of wine.
XMAS PIZZELLE COOKIES
Ingredients:
7-ounce package Vanilla Flavored Pizzelle Cookies
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 ounces pistachios, chopped
Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in microwave on 50% setting for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth. Dip half of each pizzelle cookie into melted chocolate. Sprinkle both sides with chopped pistachios. Place on baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.

That’s a cool idea to make them without using a pizzelle iron. I used to go to Boston a lot on weekends for pics and would stop in the North End for bags of pizzelles to put in the break room at work.

I love pizzelle cookies – I have an electric cookie press that makes 4 cute little cookies. I have a few recipes on my blog. Chocolate makes them better!

These are so good. Sweet with just a tad bit of that salty kick, and the crunch.
