Butterscotch Pizzelle

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: For a crispy pizzelle, make sure the baking sheet is dry and clean.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, confectioner's sugar, baking soda, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients to ensure they are well combined.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

   Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in butterscotch chips, vanilla extract, and butterscotch syrup.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pizzelle.

5. 5

   Gradually add milk to the dough, mixing until a smooth batter forms. The dough should still be slightly sticky.

   Tip: If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.

6. 6

   Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Use a pizzelle maker or a cookie press to shape the dough into waffle cookies.

   Tip: If you don't have a pizzelle maker, you can use a cookie press or even a glass to shape the cookies.

7. 7

   Bake the pizzelle for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining dough.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the pizzelle while they're baking, as the cooking time may vary depending on your oven.

8. 8

   Let the pizzelle cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: This will help the pizzelle retain their shape and crispiness.
