Firstly, a pizzelle is not a cookie. At least according to my wife, who is of Italian heritage. It's more like a waffle, and a pizzelle maker actually looks very like a waffle maker.
Secondly, they're not liquorice flavoured, they're anisette flavoured. You use anisette when making them. Anise may smell similar to liquorice, but actually is not the same thing.
They do taste nice though, especially when you put a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two warm ones. :)
Yea pizzelle! My great-aunt makes them every year at Christmas, though she uses vanilla flavoring and powdered sugar. Did you pronounce the last e or not? I've found the Southern Italians do the former (i.e. my family), and the Northern the latter.
OMG! I just ragged on my friend at work for not making any for me for the holiday!! I don't like licorice flavoring generally, but it's just a light anise flavor and I love these.
