Gluten Free Pizzelles
These Italian pizzelle cookies are made in a waffle iron instead of in the oven, resulting in a delicious crispy treat. For an updated twist on these traditional cookies, try this recipe for Gluten Free Pizzelles from Anne Colagioia. Plus, this Italian food dessert idea requires only five ingredients to make.
Notes
Set aside about 20 minutes to cook the entire batch of pizzelles.
If you are not following a gluten free diet, replace the 1 3/4 cups gluten free Bisquick with 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder as is called for in the original recipe that comes with the Cuisinart pizzelle press.

Each pizzelle press is slightly different so you should follow the instructions that come with your particular machine. Bake them on the grids for the length of time needed to achieve your preferred level of darkness. If you’ll be molding your pizzelle into dessert cups or cannoli, lighter colored pizzelle work best since they are more pliable than darker ones. Using 1/2 the amount of batter called for in your particular machine will produce tiny pizzelle that can be sandwiched with chocolate or jam.
