Growing up we would always have a day for baking holiday cookies. We’d made orange cookies and fig cookies, chocolate covered pretzels and so many other treats.

After I started having kids and my sister moved away, it got too difficult to continue the tradition. We haven’t made cookies in a couple of years. But it’s a tradition that I miss.

But I’m not a baker, and making all those cookies was a lot of work! So I decided to start a new tradition this year! Making Christmas pizzelles.

We’ve made pizzelles before, its a tradition my husband’s family used to have. I decided to use his grandma’s recipe, but I had to change a couple of the ingredients.

My daughter is allergic to milk, and we just found out that John is allergic to milk and wheat. So I needed to change the recipe just a little to make sure everyone could enjoy this delicious holiday treat!

Speaking of traditions, my mom would always put up this little Christmas village. It was one of my favorite holiday decorations.

So I put it on my mantel this year! Ok back to pizzelles.

We used Enjoy Life chocolate to add some extra holiday cheer. Dipping these cookies in chocolate and decorating with sprinkles is the perfect way for the kids to help out!
