Spray your pizzelle maker very lightly with spray oil. I used coconut oil. Wipe it off with a paper towel.

In a large bowl, add 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour, 3/4 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and dash of salt. Whisk to blend.

In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients, including the 1/2 cup of butter, 3 eggs, and flavoring. Whisk to blend.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.

Put about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons batter on each pizzelle cookie section of the pizzelle cooker. Tip: try to put the batter a little off-center towards the brackets. This way, when you close the lid, it pushes the batter toward the handle and fills the shaped area better.

Cook for one minute then open the lid and remove the pizzelles.

If you plan to shape them, you need to be quick while they are hot. You can bend them around a knife to make "taco shells" or press around a glass to make a bowl shape.
