Luckily for us, one of our favorite Christmas cookies are pizzelles. They don't involve a stove top or oven. All you need is a pizzelle maker (or in our case, a waffle cone iron that we bought a few years ago at a super discount price.) I pulled our anise extract as I packed the kitchen a few weeks ago, so all the ingredients were ready to go. The hardest part was finding an outlet that worked, allowed us enough space to set up our card table and was not over carpet. Our only option was the laundry room. So we set about making Christmas cookies while wedged between the washer and dryer.
The kids and I mixed the batter, but Derrick is our resident waffle maker, so I decided that he would also be good at pizzelles. Here is everyone waiting patiently for them to cook - one at a time.
We ate almost every single one of them as they came hot off the iron. We saved a few and have been munching on them throughout the day. Boy are they good. And, just a taste of the goodies to come when we have an oven again.
