You will need a pizzelle waffle maker to make these waffle cookies. Plug in the iron to heat while you make the dough. The iron should be very hot.

With an electric mixer, beat eggs for 5 minutes until well beaten. Add sugar and beat for another 5 minutes until a pale yellow color. Add the cooled, melted butter and mix well. Add flavorings and flour and mix until blended. Gradually add baking powder last and mix until dough is well combined.

Spray the iron with a baking spray on a HOT iron and drop a heaping teaspoon onto the middle of a hot pizzelle iron. Cooking time varies, and is determined by the iron that you are using and ranges from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Cook to a golden brown. Repeat.

You may need to test the first cookies. Spray well with a coating of cooking spray and repeat process. Remove and place on the cookie cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, begin stacking cookies. This recipe makes approximately 40 to 50 4-inch cookies.
