My grandmother used to make them by the pound when I was a kid. It's not Christmas without them.

Same, I can even taste it, even though I haven’t had one since she died. Oh they were so light and airy you’d end up housing like 90 before a second thought

I had never heard of these until a couple of weeks ago…. My friend is Italian and she uses these to make them during the holidays, it’s a tradition in her family.

Edit to add: Not sure if she makes actual “Pizelles”

If she’s Italian she’s probably making pizzelle’s. My Grandma is Italian and she makes them every year around this time.

Are they soft like a waffle? Hard like a cookie? Or somewhere in between?

It really depends on how long you cook them but usually a good somewhere in the crunch range.
