The good news is that you can enjoy these thin Italian waffle cookies in any way that you want for your own personal consumption.  Some people eat Italian pizzelle cookies just like they are while others enjoy the traditional flavor with a cup of hot coffee or tea.  I like to add the crisp pizzelle to a cookie tin and treat myself during Christmas time. These are family favorites in my house, so we always make sure that we have a batch to share with family and friends on our Christmas cookie tray every single year.
