Pizzelle Dessert Cups are a twist on traditional Italian cookies, known as pizzelle. These crispy, lightly sweet waffle-like cookies are typically flavored with anise or vanilla. In this recipe, sugar and lemon extract are added to create a sweet, tangy flavor. The cups make an elegant and fun presentation for any occasion, and can be filled with your favorite dessert toppings such as fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Instructions

1.	Preheat pizzelle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
