This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek! I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.
Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them. Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.
I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like. I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.
They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.
You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream. If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the fridge.
You can also place them down inside ramekins and let them cool there for perfect little edible bowls. If you don't have ramekins, you can use a muffin tin.
Drop in a scoop of ice cream, then add your favorite toppings and serve immediately. Some melted strawberry jam or chocolate sauce is delicious!

- 1 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Strawberry Extract
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- Red food coloring (optional)
- Vanilla buttercream (optional)
- 1/2c butter, softened
- 4 1/2c Dixie Crystals confectioner's sugar

- Chocolate Sprinkles or mini chocolate chips, if desired
Instructions
- Beat eggs, adding sugar gradually. Beat until smooth. Add cooled, melted margarine and vanilla.
- Sift flour and baking powder, add to egg mixture. Mix until smooth. The batter will be sticky, but can be dropped onto iron by spoonful.
- Heat pizzelle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Carefully using a butter knife, move the pizzelle to cooling racks or double layers of paper towels. Continue with the rest of the batter.
- Remove pizzelle from iron and wrap around a dowel or cannoli form. Let cool seam side down.
- Make the butter cream. In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve desired consistency.
