You can make these with store bought italian pizzelle cookies, but it’s so fun to actually make the cookies yourself.
Pizzelle cookies can be made in any flavor and shaped when still warm, allowing you to make little waffle dishes or cones.

Of course, you can also just eat them alone, as a cookie, but what fun is that?

The pizzelle maker I use is from Villaware.

Just break them apart. Most cookies will need to be trimmed a little around the edges:
It’s fun to make little waffle cups – just place the hot pizzelle right off the griddle onto an inverted custard cup. The ones below were formed on a rolling pin.
