Very thin and crispy cookies from France. Leave them flat to sandwich with melted chocolate (pictured), or immediately drape them over a form when removed from the oven to give them interesting shapes.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

  • 2/3 cup sugar, granulated

  • 2 large egg whites

  • 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup almonds, finely ground

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, pictured)

Directions

  • To make the Tuiles:
  • Pre-heat oven to 375F and generously spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Lay two sheets of waxed paper on the counter. Cream sugar and butter together. Whisk in egg whites and then remainder of ingredients, except the chocolate. Dollop about 1-1/2 tablespoon of mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Spread thin in round shapes and place into oven for about 8-10 minutes. Only bake 2 cookies at a time. When the cookies are light golden brown remove from oven and allow to sit for a few seconds. With a flat pastry spatula remove cookies from pan and allow to cool on waxed paper. For added effect, while still warm drape cookies over a rolling pin and allow to harden to the shape of the pin. Repeat until all dough is gone.
  • Chocolate sandwich variation (pictured):
  • Alternately, leave them flat, and when the cookies are thoroughly cooled, sandwich them with melted chocolate. Place chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds; stir. Repeat just until chocolate is melted and smooth. Spread melted chocolate on one cookie and immediately top with a second, to make a sandwich. If you do this, you will have a yield of 6 sandwich cookies. You can easily double the recipe.

My favorite cookies since I was a child! They look great and taste even better.

I'v been looking for a really good lace cookie recipe, I thought this would be the one, I was very dissappointed. It was a waste of time.

Such a great recipe. Very cheap to make and very impressive. I served mine with some ice cream and berries and got rave reviews about the cookies. (From one gourmand friend, "Yum! Where did you buy these."--I pretended not to be insulted.) Next time I may use an orange extract and serve them with fruit salad. FYI-whatever extract you use will dominate the flavor. My mom always used almond extract. I may try maple and serve it with vanilla custard...possibilities are endless with this recipe. THANKS.

These come out very nice and simple ot make. Wafer thin and very light. It is different then the usual Xmas Cookie. This recipe makes ~10 12 dollar bill sized cookies, could easily double the recipe. Next batch I am going to substitute something like dried blueberries instead of almond.
