Anybody have an Italian cookie recipe that looks like Mexican wedding cakes, but, is flat ?
Real tender, buttery type of cookie , but U don't roll into balls, it's flat and lacy like.
My sister bought some cookies at a fancy gourmet place and paid over a dollar a cookie , but, she didn't care she went back and bought 2 more. LOL She doesn't have a computer and wants me to look them up. I tried, but, all I could find was a cookie looking like Mexican wedding cake and the ones she ate were flat like a sugar cookie.
Thanks !

I have seen and eaten these in North Beach in San Francisco. I want the recipe, too! Can't wait to see if you get the response you need. Good luck!

Those are pizzelles. You need a pizzelle iron to make them.
You can use different flavorings. My mom used anise, but I prefer vanilla or lemon.

We call them French Cookies and bake them, 2 at a time, on a mini waffle maker (I suppose it's a pizzelle maker, only it doesn't make a fancy design on the cookies). These are very hard cookies, perfect for dipping in a hot drink or milk. Our recipe makes a lot and is something I only do at Christmas (a seasonal tradition for our Church bizarre).
FRENCH COOKIES
1 1/2 c butter, melted
1/2 bottle butter flavor
5 eggs
3 c brown sugar
2 c white sugar
3 T vanilla
8 c flour
Mix all ingredients together; batter will be very stiff. Roll into walnut sized balls and bake in a well oiled pizzele maker until golden brown. Cool on wire rack and store in a tightly covered container.

Thanks for the replies, so far. She said it was a tender, flaky, buttery type of cookie. All the recipes I found online were Mexican wedding cookies like. She needs to come out and ask the place for the recipe hahhaha

LOL, she needs to take a picture. The lacy part is throwing me off. I would have said almond crescent cookies otherwise.

yeah, when U go on allrecipes.com and type in Italian cookie it shows what looks like to me a fat Mexican wedding cake ball with powdered sugar. I'll try to get more out of her hahahhaha She probably just needs to make a sugar cookie or butter cookie and put pwd. sugar on it and roll the dough out and use cookie cutters.
