• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• Add the eggs and sugar to a large bowl and beat to combine. Whisk in the butter, a little at a time. Add the liqueur, orange zest, and extract. Mix well and set aside. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a bowl, and whisk to combine. A little at a time, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Use a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly. Heat the pizzelle iron and lightly spritz it with the nonstick cooking spray. Add about 1 tablespoon of the batter to the center of the patterned part of the iron. Bake according to the maker’s instructions, about 30-40 seconds, or until lightly golden. Remove and place on a baking rack to cool. Continue until all the batter is used. Dust the cookies with a bit of powdered sugar before serving.
