Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
- ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50 g) sliced almonds
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 g) butter, melted
- 2 egg whites
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and homogenous.
- Add Flour: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth without lumps, creating a light and fluid dough.
- Fold in Almonds: Carefully fold the sliced almonds into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking the slices.
- Shape Cookies: Drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread each spoonful very thinly to achieve the characteristic tuile crispness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are crisp.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack or serving plate to maintain their delicate texture.
Notes
- Shape the cookies while warm if you want curved or custom shapes, as tuile cookies become brittle once cooled.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain crispness and prevent them from becoming stale.
- Bake in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent cookies from sticking together on the sheet.
