Pizzelles are traditional Italian waffle cookies that originated in the Abruzzo region of Italy. They are delicate and tasty and can be used in a variety of ways. Our favorite way of eating Pizzelles is as an ice cream sandwich. Try vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, lemon ice cream with yellow jimmies, or chocolate ice cream with crushed oreos. These treats were featured on our Pinocchio Disney Dinner.
