One of the first cookies I can remember eating is a pizzelle, and I'm
still a huge fan today. Even though you need a special iron to make
them, the rest of it is really so simple. This time around I took the basic pizzelle recipe and instead of vanilla or anise, I used
Adams lemon extract. I also used some of their yellow food coloring to
distinguish them from my regular pizzelle.
This post is sponsored in conjunction with SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
To take them completely over the top, I filled them with a lemon buttercream and blueberry preserves. They'd also be fantastic with strawberry or raspberry preserves or even fresh fruit. Just be aware that once they are filled the clock starts ticking, you need to eat them that day or they will get soggy.

Lemon Pizzelles
Ingredients
- 6 eggs

- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Beat eggs, adding sugar gradually. Beat until smooth.
- Add cooled, melted butter and lemon extract.
