Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  2. Preheat your pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Once the pizzelle maker is hot, drop a tablespoon of batter onto the center of each mold, spreading it slightly. Close the lid and cook for about 30 to 45 seconds or until golden and crisp.
  4. Carefully remove the cookies with a spatula and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of mascarpone cheese, 1 cup of heavy cream, ½ cup of powdered sugar, and the zest of one lemon. Whip until soft peaks form.
  6. Take one cooled pizzelle cookie, spread a dollop of whipped cream filling, and top it with another pizzelle cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat until all cookies and filling are used.
  7. Cover assembled sandwiches with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
