Red Velvet Pizzelle

INGREDIENTS

• 3 large eggs, well beaten
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons beet powder or red food coloring

INSTRUCTIONS In a large bowl, add and beat the ingredients in the order listed, beating well after each addition. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the center of the preheated pizzelle maker, about 2 tablespoons. It takes a little practice, but sometimes you have to drop the batter just a bit higher than the center, to allow for the waffle press. Close the lid and cook until the steaming stops, about 60 seconds. Remove the cookie with a spatula or fork and place on a cooling rack to cool.

NOTES To achieve perfect pizzelle, you may have to trim the edges of the cookies with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. If your cookies are crisp enough, you can even use your fingers to snap off and trim the excess at the edges. To keep your pizzelle crisp, store cookies after they have fully cooled in aluminum foil.
