Instructions:
Cream together butter, sugars, and eggs, add cream. Combine dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. You may need to add additional flour to make a soft dough that you can form into a ball. Refrigerate overnight. Form into balls about the size of walnuts and press in either a Bratzeli, Krumkake, or Pizzelle iron. Follow directions of you iron. Makes about 60 cookies. Serve them plain or with ice cream. You could also make them into a cookie bowl by placing over a cup when they are hot. When the cookie is cool remove from cup and you have a cookie bowl perfect for ice cream or fresh fruit. Note: These are the cookies they sell at Midway, Utah - Swiss Days Celebration held the Friday and Saturday before Labor Day. They are delicious, paper thin, Swiss cookies.

This is interesting. My Mother was Swiss, and her recipe is very different than this one. It uses a dozen eggs, 7 cups of flour, a pound of butter and only white sugar. The only flavoring is vanilla. She spelled it BRATZELE.
Hmmmmmmmmmm where did I store my pizzelle iron at!!
I was looking to try a different recipe than my family's recipe and thought I would give this one a try. The flour needs to be cut way back, I ended up with a dry mess. I added two more eggs and still had way too dense of a dough. If I try this recipe again, I would only use 2 cups of flour to start and add until I got a soft dough.

Tigger56 thank you for your feed back - I have not tried this recipe - I may have received this recipe from the recipe group through email or it might have been copied from the website.
These do remind me a lot of pizzelles.....I went poking and found a couple more recipes for them-they sound delicious. Like pizzelles-there's a bunch of recipes out there for them. I do have a pizzelle iron and have a bunch of variations of the basic recipe-and still collect more. I love my pizzelle iron!
