Mardi Gras Pizzelles

Hi everyone, Mardi Gras is next Tuesday already-did you  know that? Thought I'd share something fun from last year... Mardi Gras Pizzelles! You can also do this with sugar cookies.
They loved these pretty cookies at the office!
Have a happy day:@)
Vanilla Pizzelles
3 eggs, room temp
3/4 C sugar
1/2 C melted butter, cooled
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 C flour (I add 2 tblsp corn starch to the measuring cup, then fill with flour)
2 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Beat eggs and sugar. Add butter and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder together and add to wet, mix well. 
At this point I divided it into three bowls and added the coloring (use as little as possible to create the colors). I scooped a bit of each color up on a spoon and made the pizzelles following the directions that came with my machine.
