Tegolino or Tuiles

With just a few ingredients you can make one of the tastiest cookies. They are a little temperamental. You must make sure the batter is the right consistency. If you like you can use a template to make them perfectly. I did not have a template and mine turned out just fine. You will need a silicone baking mat. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.


3 ounces of all purpose flour
3 ounces of cake flour
6 ounces of powdered sugar
6 egg whites (3/4 of a cup)
4 ounces of melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Finely chopped almonds

In a food processor, place all the ingredients and pulse until well mixed. Pour half a tablespoon full of the batter on the Silpat and sprinkle lightly with the chopped almonds. It is very important that the dough should not be thicker then 1/16 of a inch. Bake until they are browned lightly. Remove the pan from the oven and place the cookies on a rolling pin to establish the tile shape. They will crisp up fairly quickly, so you must do this right away.

Now you can enjoy the cookies! There is a lot of variations to this cookie. So add grated orange zest to them which is quite nice. You can even make cocoa tulies by replacing 1 ounce of the cake flour with 1 ounce of cocoa powder.
