This is actually for the "Cookie Baker from Denver CO. This recipe is the actual recipe from the Villaware pizzelle maker. I have made these fro years and actually friends and family request me making the Italian cookie. I think you are just not experienced enough or the knack to make it. five stars

I grew up calling Pizzelle's Nivel's my grandmother said that northern Italy called them Nivel's I have not heard them called that by anyone except our family, my Dad would cook them in our basement over a gas stove with a long handled iron when we were little, my Mom and I both now have upgraded irons that cook two at a time. I ran into some people over the summer who also heard of them called Nivel's has anyone else heard of this or know where I can get more information as to why we always called them Nivel's. Thanks and by the way we love all flavors of Nivel's ... pizzelles. five stars

Would not make this again.
I lost my Great Grandmother's recipe for pizzelles, which I used every year for 6 years now. I found this recipe and it was terrible. I could not get one good cookie out of the batter. There was too much baking powder or something in the recipe. I ended up with very thin holey cookies that spilled over the sides of the iron. They looked like lace cookies, not waffles. I have to say that the mounds of crumbs that I have did taste good. I will have to find a new recipe and start all over. two stars

Pizzelles are a family favorite. I cant seem to get mine to be soft, eventhough they still do taste delicious crispy with jam, chocolate, or caramel. five stars
