Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

The best is using almond extract instead of vanilla. I cut the sugar in half and flour to 1 1/4 cup. Used only 1/2 c melted butter! They were perfect, very thin and crunchy!!

My favorite Italian bakery closed and I've been on a mission to make pizzelles at home without a lot of luck duplicating their wonderful ones. I think this is the closest so far. They must have a secret ingredient in theirs that isn't in this but this is so very close.
I had another recipe for pizzelles and that one said to sift the flour. Do you sift the flour in this recipe?

I used 2 tablespoons of real anise oil for 50 pizzelles. This recipe is the best I've tried, my mother even asked for it, and she's right off the boat. For Christmas, I melted chocolate chips over a double boiler, and drizzled the melted chocolate over each pizzelle before cooling them in the freezer. Everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe!
