Tuile Cookies
Recipe & Food Styling Marisa Curatolo, Photography Cory Aronec
The think crispy French Tuile (right side of image) aptly named for the red clay tiles that so often top the homes in France and elsewhere in Europe—an image that provokes more dreamy thoughts on a cold, winter afternoon.
Ingredients
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Trace 6 3-inch circles about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheet. Turn paper over.
Combine butter and sugar in mixing bowl. Stir in our until mixture is creamy. Whisk in egg whites and mix until smooth. Drop 2 tablespoons batter onto centre of each circle. With palette knife, spread evenly. Bake cookies 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are golden. Work quickly, slide palette knife under each tuile; drape over rolling pin and let harden. If tuile becomes too brittle to shape, place back in oven. Repeat with remaining batter.
