Sorry folks... Didn't get the wheat ground yet. Too many holiday projects, plus dinner with a friday deadline. Hopefully, I'll get it done tomorrow.

They're awesome! But, fair warning, they are typically flavored with anise so they taste like black licorice. That startles a lot of people.

Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk. In a seperate bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Combine wet and dry and mix well. Roll out on floured surface, adding additional flour if needed. Use cookie cutters to cut out cookies and arrange on cookie sheet. Coat with egg whites and Sprinkles if desired. Bake at 350° 9-11 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Decorate with icing immediately after pulling from the oven.

Pizzelles are awesome....but only the vanilla flavored. I can't STAND anise! Every time I see pizzelles, I get excited but have to have someone try them first lol.
