Description
Description
Before they were called pizzelle in America, they were ferratelle in Abruzzo. These Italian waffle cookies are one of the oldest sweet traditions of the region, and in L'Aquila they are still made the old way: hand-kneaded dough, pressed and cooked on cast iron, one at a time.
What to expect. Our ferratelle are thicker and more rustic than the thin pizzelle most Americans know, with a satisfying crunch and a clean, simple flavor with a touch of vanilla. No anise, no added colorings or flavorings: just real ingredients.
Perfectly imperfect. Because they are made by hand, every ferratella is a little different in size and color, and one box may hold 10 pieces while another holds 11. The weight is always guaranteed: at least 230 g (8.11 oz).
Enjoy them on their own with coffee, spread with jam, honey or chocolate, crumbled over gelato, or tucked into a lunchbox. Like all real baked goods, they have a naturally short shelf life.
Contains: wheat, eggs, milk. Full ingredients and allergen details in the Ingredients tab.

My favorites
Delizioso!
These are the best Italian waffle cookies I have ever had! Love them!!!
Light and delicious. Im enjoying a product made in Italy. They are as perfect as the country.
Madonna mia! These are fantastic! Two or three of these and an espresso doppio (double) and you're set to go. Grazie tanto!!!!
Excellent customer service through out the purchase process. Delicious cookies , not too sweet and very flavorful with authentic Italian taste. A great find and highly recommend !
I have been missing these type of cookies ever since I visited Italy on many occasions. Most of the products you find here in the stores are really not what you get in Italy and these were as real as it gets. When I ordered the Assorted Amaretti and the Ferratelle I was hoping they would not disappoint and they didn't. The smell alone was incredible, the flavor and the texture was exactly what I hoped for. I am just glad that someone is making this available to us here in the states. I would highly recommend you give them a try especially if you like and appreciate cookie craftsmanship.
Love it.
My kids love these
That’s wonderful to hear! So happy your kids enjoyed them. 💛
Good but one box of my cookies were broken in small pieces. Nevertheless the cookies are delicious

Eat Well, Eat Italian
Italians are known for their love of food, and for one simple rule: quality over quantity.
Traditional Italian baking relies on real, carefully selected ingredients and recipes that have not changed in generations. That is why a single Italian cookie with your espresso feels like a small moment of pleasure, not just a snack.
