can you also make thicker pizzelles, more like cookies?

I am not 100% sure, however, the pizzelle maker closes tightly and pushes excess batter out so I doubt it would make a thicker cookie.

Not really, but these pizzelles are a pretty good thickness, not really thin...but if you put too much batter in, it may pop over like mine did in the middle of cooking...they did replace it for me.

I don't think so, maybe if you used a thicker batter it is thicker than your normal pizzelles, you have to work to make them thin and crispy.

I cuold not use the pizzelle maker. I have a feeling it was a used one when I ordered a NEW ONE!

You can mix it with water or milk. Mixing it with milk will make it thicker. But other than that no issues.

What I find that works best is that I roll dough into balls and place it by hand onto the middle of each griddle....then depending how thick or thin you want the pizzelles to be, I either hold the handles together for thicker pizzelles or squeeze it until I can get the clip over the bottom handle to make thin crispy pizzelles. It all depends on what you personally like.

I believe that you can do that. They are made of metal you may have the batter leak from under the cookie cutter but it's worth a try. Good luck with what you have in mind. Remember they ate not huge about the size of a small medium cookie. Hope I have been of some help there.

Yes, but I would advise making the mix thicker by adding about 1/2 of the liquid ingredients. So if the box calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of oil. I would add 1 egg, 1/2 cup of water and 2 Tbls of oil. It's also helpful to use a small scoop to put the batter into the cooker. I think my holds a teaspoon or maybe it's half a tablespoon? It's the perfect shape and size for the cake pop wells. If the batter is too runny it just gets everywhere. You have to experiment a little. Lately the kids and I have been putting canned dough in the cake pop maker, crescent rolls canned dough wrapped around a chunk of cheese. Yum.

You can make them up to about a half inch thick. It just depends on how much meat you put in them.

Of course you can make them as thin or thick as you want just by using more or less baking powder/baking soda mixtures. I have made them up to an inch at the thickest part. If you try to squeeze more batter in, it oozes out the sides and gets into the catch pan.

Yes, but the pizzelle is not necessarily ready. You have to watch it carefully.

There are lots of recipes on line. The secret to great pizzelles is anise oil, not extract.

This was a gift for one of my foodie friends. He's only used it for making homemade pizza from scratch, dough and all, and LOVES it. Doubt that he's used it for cookies though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I use a very thin amount of dough I buy 24 count premade dough and cut in half ( 48 total cookies ) perfect thickness and I only cook 6 minutes and they are perfect .

yes, the instructions come with several recipes - mosy call for oil instead of butter - look on the net and find a basic recipe with butter - much better pizzelles when made with butter!

I have never made churros. There is a cookie disc that I have used to make spritz cookies that look like churros. They are only about 1/4 inch thick. Maybe you could try that disc if the churro batter isn't too sticky?

With just a little practice, you can make less than 2 inch cookies with this scoop- try leveling the scoop with the top of the mixing bowl as you withdraw the scoop. I use a rather heavy batter and make considerably larger cookies most of the time,with a rounded scoop full- good luck! JBH

Not sure, but pizzelles have so much butter in them, I've never had one stick to this press, and I prefer the thin crispy cookies vs the thicker chewier ones.

I have the polished, but wonder if the texture has more to do with the recipe than the finish. Case in point - this past Christmas I followed a pizzelle recipe but forgot to add the baking powder. They turned out thin, crisp and delicious. Next time I added the baking powder, and the pizzelles were thicker and soft. I, too, prefer thin and crisp and will intentionally omit the baking powder next time. Just my experience, hope it's helpful.
