Ingredients
Almond Tuile Cookies
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg white
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, sugar, and vanilla extract until slightly frothy, ensuring the sugar starts dissolving.
- Add butter: Stir the melted butter into the egg white mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: Gently mix in the gluten-free flour and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients until a uniform batter forms.
- Fold in almonds: Carefully fold the sliced almonds into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them.
- Shape cookies: Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading each thinly into a flat, even circle to ensure crispness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies become golden brown.
- Shape while warm: Remove the cookies quickly from the baking sheet and while still warm and pliable, drape them over a rolling pin or similar object to create the classic tuile curve. Let cool to harden.
Notes
- Work swiftly when shaping the cookies as they harden quickly once cooled.
- Store your almond tuiles in an airtight container to preserve their delicate crispness for days.
