Pizzelle Iron
A Pizzelle Maker or Iron is a method to making the Italian Pizzelle cookie.
Pizzelles were originally made in the Abruzzo region of south-central Italy. The name comes from the Italian word for "round" and "flat" (pizze); this is also the meaning of the word pizza. Many other cultures have developed a pizzelle-type cookie as part of their culture. It is known to be one of the oldest cookies.
The cookie dough or batter is put into a pizzelle iron, which resembles a waffle iron. The pizzelle iron is held by hand over a hot burner on the stovetop, although some models are electric and require no stove. Typically, the iron stamps a snowflake pattern onto both sides of this thin golden-brown cookie, which has a crisp texture once it is cooled. There are also several brands of ready-made pizzelle available in stores.
This Pizzelle Iron bakes two 4" cookies in less than a minute, in 2 different cookie styles. Easy to clean.

I think it depends on which brand you get - I believe this one is nonstick, so no.
