Though intricate and slight, pizzelles are delicious and versatile. The traditional Italian Christmas cookies can be served alone or in an array of holiday desserts. You can enjoy them cannoli-style with a sweet, creamy filling or sandwiching your favorite ice cream. Here you will find a pizzelle recipe as well as several creative variations.

Pumpkin-pie spiced pizzelles
Omit the anise oil. Add 1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice to the batter.
Pizzelle cannoli
Make a half recipe of pizzelle batter and preheat the iron. Find a dowel or wooden spoon handle about ¾ inch in diameter. Cook a pizzelle and, working quickly, loosely roll the hot pizzelle around the dowel, overlapping the ends. Remove the dowel, but hold the pizzelle closed to set it. Cool completely.
Make the filling: Beat together 2½ cups ricotta cheese, 1¼ cups confectioners’ sugar, 6 ounces softened cream cheese, ½ teaspoon vanilla and 2 teaspoons grated orange zest. Stir in ⅓ cup candied orange peel and 3 ounces mini chocolate chips. Spoon or pipe the filling into the rolled pizzelle. Dip the ends of the cannoli in minced pecans (about 6 tablespoons).
Ice cream sandwiches
Make a half recipe of pizzelles. Sandwich a scant ½ cup softened ice cream between 2 pizzelles. Wrap well and return to the freezer.
