Oh interesting! I updated my comment with the recipe if you want to try. We called ours pizzelles out whole lives, but it wasn't until I had a friend who knew what they are taste them and went, ok yours taste totally different than mine, and I like them better, that I realized we'd been making a different cookie (mom had typed up the recipe for me so I hadn't seen it in the book in awhile). I like pizzelles too, but they're more cake-y than this recipe makes.
