23 cal per cookie. Pizzelle History: Extra thin - Extra crisp - Extra delicious. Pizzelle are traditional Italian cookies, made primarily by the people of the Abruzzo region of Italy. Originally made on cast iron grills over a high heat, Pizzelle were always made the same way: with a great deal of time and patience stirring the mixture, dropping individual balls of dough onto the griddle, pressing it shut and waiting endless minutes for one cookie to bake at a time. Fortunately this little piece of culinary art is now able to be enjoyed by those of us without the knowledge, time or equipment to prepare these cookies conventionally. No trans fat. No preservatives. Only 23 calories per cookie. Product of Canada.
