MarilynFL pizzelle recipe

Hi Julia, I'm having problems finding it as well, but found a post where I talked
about them with an image of cookie swap bags and recipe attached. I'm copying that.
This is the version I grew up with in Pittsburgh. Neighborhood kids were corralled to help other neighbor families bake these BY. THE. HUNDREDS for weddings and such.
Forced Child Labor Pizzelles
6 eggs
1/2 C oil
1/2 C butter, melted & cooled
1 1/3 C sugar
1 TBL vanilla extract (or 2 Tsp Vanilla PLUS 2 Tsp Anise oil)
4 C flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt.
Stir dry ingredients together.
Beat eggs, oil, butter, sugar and vanilla together. Add flour mix and hand-stir until smooth. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto a hot pizzelle (or Krumkake) iron. Bake 1 minute. Cool to rack. Store in tin.
Makes 6 dozen 4" cookies.
PS: A few years back I made a version that used lemon oil (quite a lot and it's lemon oil....not extract) with fresh lemon zest instead of the vanilla and/or anise and thought those were amazing! Gave them with a jar of lemon curd.
PPS: I remember my mother would get the small bottle of anise oil (not extract) from the local Thrift drug store pharmacy. I still don't know why to this day.

If I can offer another very old and dear Pizzelle recipe
This one came from my ex-MIL whose family made it for so many years I can't even count how long. I have made them many times over the last 35 years- they are lovely and crispy and delicious. It is hard to find anise oil now but it can be found. The recipe is vague as to how much vanilla and anise oil is used but I always put in "some" smileys/smile.gif

4 c sugar
1 lb butter
