Ingredients

6 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons fennel seeds

Optional:

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 additional egg, or
1/4 cup amaretto and an additional 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Note: You will need a pizzelle iron to make these cookies.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and oil and mix until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, fennel seeds, and optional ingredients if desired, and mix well to form a homogenous batter. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Heat the pizzelle iron until very hot. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter onto the iron, close it, and return to the heat. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat until all the batter is used.
