I'm taking part in Jessi's fun cookie exchange. For several years, my dear friend, Annie, made these beautiful cookies from a cookie iron called a brazeli from Switzerland. Her mother had brought the cookie iron back from Switzerland. I love her beautiful, delicious and elegant cookies. I have tried for years to find one on ebay. Roberts European Imports carries them for the incredible price of $300. I would rather go to Switzerland myself and plan on doing just that someday. In the mean time, my daughter and I went to a Girl Scout cookie event and learned how to make these Pizzelle cookies which are very similar to my friend Annies. I'm going to treat myself to a Pizzelle iron and make these delicious cookies. I wrote on the bottom of her recipe that she quadroples the recipe during the holidays. Yum! Thanks Sweet Jessi for hosting this festive event.
