Beat eggs, sugar, and butter together using an electric mixer. Add flour and extracts; beat until combined. Spray the inside of iron lightly with cooking spray. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into the center of each pizzelle grid. Close lid and bake until steam stops and cookies are light golden brown, 45 to 60 seconds. Peel pizzelle off using a fork and lay flat on a newspaper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while warm and let sit for 1 minute. Dust the other side. Repeat with remaining batter to make about 30 cookies. Cook's Notes: Margarine can be used in place of butter. Substitute almond extract for the anise extract if preferred.
