MaryAnn, Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I love when you cook. I hope you do more.

[@garycottinoandchericottino5719]

Love watching you in the kitchen. I’ve got to get me an iron. Just love these cookies.

[@rhondaz356]

There's nothing like homemade cookies, with those yummy ingredients, and the marvelous aromas. I have never had them made with vanilla. I am like Joe. I KNOW that I would prefer the vanilla flavor better. Thank you, MaryAnn. I am going to try making this, using the vanilla recipe. YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY 💛🤗💛🎉

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Hi MaryAnn, I love when you do the cooking/baking videos! ❤

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Thanks, Liz. we were worried when we didn't see you this past week. I'm glad to see it was just an internet problem. Have a great day

[@MaggiePanyan-gh4fy]

Thanks so much Maryanne. So nice to see someone who bakes like me. Flour on the shirt, no fancy mixmaster or bowls. Just great recipes made with love.

[@lucysawenko4582]

Oh MaryAnn I just love you,you are such a delight. You did a great job. It is hard to be on camera cooking. They look delicious. You had a good pizzelle taster. Love you Both Buona Natale

[@antigoga9476]

I can only imagine the smell 😊 they look great and I'm sure they are delicious 😋 Thanks for sharing your mom’s recipe.

[@michelel3372]

This is great, Thank you so much MaryAnn. My Aunt always made these but I've been intimated by the process. Being able to watch you make them is super helpful. Thank you for doing this and for sharing your tips. My husband will be happy too, as he loves Pizzelles too! ❤🎄

[@alicearnold4117]

Thank you MaryAnn for that great tutorial! 🧑‍🍳. It’s so great to share traditional family recipes. My late mother-in-law was first generation Italian and my husband makes pizzelles with vanilla (anise is not my friend lol) but I think next batch we’ll try lemon flavor. 🍋

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Let us know!

[@lisawfriday]

Being from the South I never knew about the Pizelle cookie. I purchased some at a World Market store a few years back just out of curiosity and fell in love with them. They are perfect coffee and tea cookies. My mother also prefers her hand held mixer over the Kitchen aid stand mixer, Lol. Thanks for sharing Mary Ann! ❤

[@judydahl1683]

So sweet and pretty

[@karencamburn6773]

I used to make them the original one !!! ❤

[@123mvsmith]

Great job! We had the same iron, after it died, we had to go to Philadelphia to buy another... My mother would make them with the anise extract, and anise seeds as well. Now I make them in a healthier version, with gluten free flour, and Eggbeaters, you would never know the difference...

[@carriekarg8433]

Looks delicious Maryann! Thanks for sharing your recipe! It would be fun if you could share some more of your recipes! I'm in a bit of a lull ! Have a great evening 😀

[@leiastephenson1575]

Loved this video! While I love to eat pizzelli I had no idea how they were made. Thanks Maryanne!

[@janreynolds3794]

Maryann these look amazing!! Great seeing you on here!! ❤️❤️

[@denisecoviello5619]

One of my favorites! I like the anise, but I also like almond flavor. Fortunately we have a couple of good Italian markets nearby because I don’t really like to bake. One of my other favorites for the Christmas cookie tray are pistachio leaf cookies. 😋😋😋

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Yum!

[@michellemankus6908]

I loved the tutorial. I have heard of these cookies before, but l had no idea what was in them. Thanks for sharing.

[@marylove7898]

Just found your videos this morning I’ve done nothing but watch one video after another it is been so nostalgic for me and now the Pizzelle, wow. I make them once a month, my grandkids love them. Of course, some like them thin, some thick, mostly they make ice cream sandwiches out of them. It’s been a pleasure watching your videos today. Thank You 😊

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Great! So glad you found us! Thank you!

[@judydahl1683]

❤️🎄 Hi, Maryann. :) I love your food videos. Thanks for this! 🎄💚

[@lismc1971]

These were my oldest son’s favorite. I have never made them myself. This may be a coincidence that came across this video today however I have had a couple other “signs” from him today. Thanks for sharing!

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

I believe in those signs. So sorry for your loss.

[@karenbrewer5864]

I use to see these cookies sometimes at the grocery, but never bought them. They are so pretty and you did a great job! I know they were delicious! Merry Christmas

These look delicous, and love the pattern. 😊

[@drfulgione]

I love anise, but I'll forgive Joe. LOL. thanks so much for this demo, I tried to make them last year and made a mess. But you gave a few good tips and I will compare your recipe with mine. I'll let you know how they come. Glad to see you again, I miss your cooking!

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

I've been asked to make a meat free baked ziti and have never done.... have you ever made it and if so do you have any hints on how to make a good one?? PS: I'm with Joe, I don't really like the Anise either... I've never had them made with just vanilla but I bet I would definitely like those!

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Yes we make that. Everything tge same just minus tge mear.

[@patgodwin8319]

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Yes! But it makes them even sweeter. Most people like powdered sugar on tgem though! Thank you!!

[@bee3027]

Thank you for sharing. A friend just gave me her recipe but there is no baking powder in the recipe, not sure if you need that or not.

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

We've always used it, but there are many different recipes. Let me know!

[@macampbell5257]

I love those cookies. Do you have the recipe that you actually make the dough balls and make them with the iron on the stove. My brother and sister in law make them every year. Thank you for sharing.

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

This is Joe. I'll ask MaryAnn

[@macampbell5257]

@@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe thank you

[@juliekalivoda484]

Thank you guys! Are the cookies crunchy or soft?❤️

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Both!!

[@fedoralombardo3158]

Did you store the batter in the fridge until you made them ? Thanks!

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Yes! You can store it up to a couple of days before making them. It lets everything incorporate.

[@fedoralombardo3158]

thanks for replying!!!!!

[@rosablue4105]

Can we freeze,these

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

@rosablue4105 according to Google yes you can. I've never tried though
