Pizzelle cookies are unique and delicious cookies to make. Below is the complete recipe for Dipped Chocolate Chip Pizzelle Cookies.
This recipe was originally shared on National Cookie Day, which is December 4th. This cookie is so delicious that it should be made all year long! So I thought it was the perfect time to share it with you again.
Are you new to pizzelle? Let me explain what it is first.
What is a Pizzelle Cookie?
The pizzelle are traditional Italian waffle cookies made from flour, eggs, sugar, butter, or vegetable oil, and flavoring.
When you say "pizzelle" make sure to put a bit of Italian flare on the word and you will probably be saying it correctly. It's kind of fun to say!

- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Butter - melted and cooled
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 ½ tsp. Baking Powder
- ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- Dipping Chocolate
- Chopped Nuts
- Pizzelle Maker
Pizzelle Cookies:
Melt your butter and set aside.
Beat the eggs and sugar together. Add the butter and vanilla to the sugar mixture.
Sift together the flour and baking powder. Add ½ of the mix to the sugar mixture and mix. Add the remaining flour and mix.
Stir in mini chocolate chips.
Heat the Pizzelle maker according to the directions. Place 1 tsp. of batter on the grid. Bake until golden brown (30-40 seconds).
Remove and cool.
I love how pretty the designs are on the cookies - looks so fancy and gives the cookie a nice crispy texture
Dip the pizzelle in melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts.
Let the chocolate cool and store the cookies in an air-tight container.
I love the crispy texture paired with the chocolate. Just imagine all of the possibilities and variations of this cookie that you could make.

Our Baking Essential List
- We use Glass Baking Dishes for baking casseroles. I especially like the dishes with lids because leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! The knives cut beautifully, and the hollow design prevents food from sticking to the blade.

This batter isn’t working for me 🙁 It keeps sticking to the iron and not making the shape

I am so sorry Michelle. Did you butter your pizzelle maker? Maybe you didn't let it cook long enough.

These are gorgeous! I've never had a pizzelle cookie, but now I'm adding the pan to my wish list. Although, it could be pretty scary to be able to have fresh cookies in under 45 seconds. 😉

I love pizzelles and I seem to only make them at Christmas. I do the traditional ones so these look so much better.
Thanks for sharing at Turn It Up Tuesday,

Wow, these are gorgeous! I often wonder if our great great grandmother's would just die when they see our food of today - the ingredients we have and modern equipment! A perfect example of mixing the new and the old! Thanks for sharing on Throwback Thursday and I'll be pinning this to our TBT pinterest! Hope to see you next time!!

Can choc.chip pizelle b frozen, or should I dip two days before eat.
Katie
I have never tried freezing them, but I did find this...
When completely cool, wrap them in groups of six in plastic wrap and place in airtight containers. Pizzelle can be made ahead and frozen for up to three months.

I made the Dipped Chocolate Chip Pizzelle Cookies for Christmas and they were a hit! Thank you for posting the recipe.
My observation is about how perfectly round the cookies are in the photos and I wonder if you trimmed them. Mine did not look like that. Some of them were even but some of them had uneven star edges. Should they be made large enough to trim the edges so that they are perfectly round?
Katie
Christine, I am so glad you and your crew loved them!
If you look at picture #3 in the post you will see that some of mine weren't very perfect either. 😂
Trimming the edges for a perfect cookie is the easiest way to get the picture-perfect look. But, even the not-so-perfect-looking ones are delicious too!

Hello, Christine. I am about to make these chocolate dipped pizzelles but could you clarify the amount of mini chocolate chips? At the beginning is is listed as 1 1/2 mini chips but further down it says toput only 1/2 c. chips into the batter. Is the other 1 cup of mini chips meant to be melted and used for the chocolate dip?
Katie Adams
Hi Nicolene, The recipe calls for 1/2 cup mini chips for the pizzelle recipe, and then some for melting to dip the cookies into. I would melt at least 1 cup of chocolate to dip the cookies in, if not more.
