Equipment
- 1 pizzelle maker
- 1 mixer
- mixing bowls
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Oat Flour
- 2.5 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweeted, dark
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste extract
- ⅛ teaspoon Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Plug in your pizzelle press to your favorite setting (I personally like setting 3)
- Place oat flour, cocoa, baking powder, and Himalayan salt in a mixing bowl, mix, and set aside.
- Add brown sugar and egg to separate mixing bowls. Beat on medium till smooth. About a minute
- Add the dry mixture and beat on low for 1 minute, until well mixed.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla bean paste, and mix for an additional minute until well combined. Be careful not to mix over.
- When your pizzelle press is heated, it is time to start making your cookies. I cooked mine on setting 3 for 45 seconds to one minute. (You may have to spray your press with a bit of oil to avoid sticking.)
- You can eat them as is, or my family loves it when I use them to make ice sandwiches.

Notes
- Get creative with shapes. While they’re still warm, you can roll pizzelle into cones or drape them over a bowl to form edible dessert cups.
- Don’t stack when warm. They’ll steam each other and lose that irresistible crispiness. Let them cool completely first.
- Store in an airtight container. Moisture is the enemy of crisp pizzelle!
- Mix just until combined. Overmixing can make your pizzelle tough — and nobody wants that.
- To make: Orange Pizzelle Cookies. Replace cocoa powder with ½ teaspoon orange zest and vanilla bean with orange extract.
