Chocolate Pizzelle

 Pizzelle come in many flavors in both sweet and savory flavors.  This recipe is for Chocolate Pizzelle.

I have been making Pizzelle for 30 + years.   Started with a basic recipe and then expanded into other flavors.  You will find a number of recipes on my site that includes: Basic Pizzelle, Anise, Lemon, Almond, Red Velvet, and Pistachio.

Red Velvet Pizzelle Cookies

 My family loves Pizzelle cookies.  We have been making them for over 30+ years.   Started with a recipe from my mother-in-law for basic flavored Pizzelle in either Anise or Lemon flavors.   Now we make all kinds of Pizzelles.   

This recipe for Red Velvet Pizzelles we started with cake mix.   





Once you make the batter and cook them off on the pizzelle maker you can cut, trim, fold or form in to shapes.   


Or as you can see from the photos of above you can dip, smear or drizzle in chocolate or white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles or as you see fit.

Ginger Cookies

This is a recipe for a nice chewy ginger cookie that can be eaten plain as is.  It can be sandwich together with frosting of your choice or it can be drizzled or dipped in white chocolate.   

Your family will enjoy them but you can also give them as a gift or add a few to a cookie tray.




The dough comes together nicely in a few minutes.  Put in the fridge to firm up.  Roll into balls and then roll in sugar and bake. 

This is how mine turned out. 


Here is the recipe.

Chocolate Crinkles

Chocolate Crinkles not only taste good but look elegant in their black and white attire topped with a Hershey Kiss.  


These have been topped with a cookies and cream kiss.


These are great for cookie snacking at any time, but they do make a great addition to any cookie tray either alone or with a mixture of other cookies.

How do you like your Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Do you like them crispy or soft?  Do you like them flat or chunky?   How about stuffed or not?



I describe my favorite chocolate chip cookie as crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, chunky with lots of chips and nuts.  It can be stuffed with Hazel Nut spread to take it over the top.

Here is the recipe let me know if you try it......

Cookies for Christmas

At Christmas time I get together with family and friends and we bake cookies and make candy treats to load onto cookie trays to give as gifts or use at family gatherings.  Lots and lots of treats and cookies.   We have been doing it for years.   It is a fun, tiring, messy, and delicious day.  Sometimes it is a couple of us other times it is a group.   We make several of the old stand byes and often try out a new recipe or two.  By the end of the day we have made dozens and dozens of delicious, delectable tasting cookies and other goodies.

One of my favorites to make is a called the Italian Fudge Roll.   It was a recipe I received from my mother in law over 33 years ago and who knows how long she had it.  




The recipe is very simple and easy to follow.  It uses ingredients that you can get at your local grocery store, if they aren't in your pantry and fridge already.    

The dough comes together nicely and is easy to work with. The fudge center is simple to make and after making it you well learn that you can use it to make many different kinds of fudge.  

If you have never had the chance to taste it, yes, it tastes like a rich creamy chocolate fudge wrapped in a delicate pastry making it easy to eat.     Once you have tried it you will be seeking it out on the next tray of cookies.
