3 whole Large Eggs
3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled Slightly
2 Tablespoons Amaretto Liqueur

1
You will also need a pizzelle baker for this recipe.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light. Add the melted butter, amaretto, almond extract and vanilla nut (or vanilla) extract and mix until smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add this into the egg mixture along with the sliced almonds and stir with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thick.
4
Drop batter by spoonfuls onto the preheated pizzelle iron. It takes a few tries to figure out how much batter to use. I use a regular teaspoon (not a measuring spoon) and spoon the batter slightly to the back of center on each mold. That seems to work well for me. The cookies take between 15-20 seconds to cook. When the steaming slows down, that's when I check to see if they're light golden brown. When cooked, remove to wire racks to cool completely. They crisp up as they cool. Repeat cooking the rest of the batter.
5
When completely cooled, store the pizzelles in an airtight container. They'll stay crisp for days. Makes approximately 30 pizzelles, depending on the size cookies your iron makes.
