Yes, you read the title correctly, I succeeded in making paleo pizzelles! This is one happy Italian here! So excited to share this recipe with all of you I still have ‘flour’ on my hands! Don’t worry, I already ate one. Can’t post a recipe I haven’t tried!
Paleo pizzelle cookies
Ingredients (makes 20 cookies):
Pizzelle iron (I have a Cuisinart non stick pizzelle iron)
1/2 cup Nutiva shortening (this is a mixture of palm, red palm, and coconut oil) – sub palm shortening if you can’t find this stuff
1/3 cup date sugar (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
1/3 cup Monk fruit in the raw
3 large eggs
1 cup almond flour (this is the blanched stuff)
1/2 cup arrowroot powder
1/3 cup coconut flour
2 tbl. + 2 tsp. tapioca flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbl. pure anise extract (If using anise oil, use 1/2 tbl)
1/8 tsp. Himalayan sea salt
Method:
Heat pizzelle maker. In stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together shortening with date sugar and monk fruit. Add eggs one at a time. Add remaining ingredients. Use 2 tbl. batter to make each cookie. Press to desired crispiness. I do not grease my iron and no, nothing ever sticks.

Can you substitute monk fruit with coconut sugar and how much?
It would be a 1:1 substitution.
if I don’t need to use monk fruit do you know how much Cocnut sugar, honey or maple syrup I would replace it with ?
Monk Fruit in the raw (the version from when this recipe was dated) would be a 1:1 for coconut sugar. Haven’t tried a wet substitution like honey or maple syrup but my guess would be 3 tablespoons.
