Pizzelles, Italian cookies

Makes about 100 cookies

• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/4 cups butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon anise seed
• 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur (or vanilla extract)
• Juice and grated zest of half a lemon
• Juice and grated zest of half an orange
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until they are light and foamy. Add butter, a little at a time. Add anise seeds, amaretto, zests and juices. Gradually add the flour until a light dough is formed. It should be thin enough to drop onto the iron with a spoon. You may have a little bit of flour left over. Cook on a pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
RESOURCES Pizzelle irons cost from $25 to thousands of dollars for antiques. Names include: Vitantonio, Cuisinart, VillaWare, MagicChef, Rival, NordicWare, Cucina Pro, Berarducci and Chef's Choice. Available from Amazon:
