Tuile Cookies
How to make tuile cookies
Yield: 20 tuiles
Materials
- 1/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to mix together 1/4 cup room temperature butter, 1/2 cup icing sugar, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract until the sugar is creamed into the butter.
- Add 1 egg white and whisk into the butter mixture. Add the other egg white, and whisk again.
- Slowly add 1/2 cup of flour, whisking add you add the flour. You want to whisk out any clumps of flour so at the end you have a thick batter.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Place a spoonful of batter on the silicone mat, and tap the batter off the spoon. Use the back of the spoon to guide the tuile into a circular shape. The tuile should be approximately 2.5-3" in diameter. Only put about 6 tuiles on the baking mat. You don't want to bake too many at a time, otherwise you won't be able to shape them all when they come out of the oven.
- Bake the tuiles for 5-9 minutes. The tuiles are finished baking when the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Immediately after removing the tuiles from the oven, use a flipper to remove one of the cookies from the baking sheet.
- Shape the cookies by folding it over a metal cone shape, and then place it seam down for it to set. This will create a cone tuile.
- To make a "taco" shape, you can drape the cookie over a thick rounded object. You can even use the handle of one of your cookware. Let it sit to dry until it's shaped how you want.
- You can make a spiral tuile by making a rectangular shaped tuile. After it's come out of the oven, twist the tuile over a round object. One of the ends will be at the top, the other end should be opposite, and then rolled over the rounded object.
- After you're done baking the tuiles, store them in an airtight container.
- You can also save the batter by placing it in the fridge covered, and then using it over the next 2 days.
