Almond Tuile cookies

andrestover Bakes, Cookies, National dishes almond flakes, France 0

Tuile means roof tile in French. The roof tiles of old houses in the southern part of France are probably referred to. These curved, crispy pastries are often made as a decoration for many restaurant dishes. Tuile cookies are usually used as a decoration when serving ice cream. If these cookies are eaten separately when nuts or almonds are added to them. I made Tuile cookies using half-wheat flour and half-almond flakes.
When making these cookies, use a rolling pin or a bottle on which to place the cookies when they come out of the oven, so that they remain nicely curved as the original recipe describes.

Preparation time: 10 minutes mixing the dough, 40-50 minutes baking cookies
Level: Easy
Quantity: about 80 cookies

Ingredients:
225 g room temperature butter
300 g of sugar
3 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
225 g of wheat flour
6 eggs
250 g of almond chips
A pinch of sea salt

Another 100g of almond flakes for sprinkling on top of the cookies.

Preparation:

Melt butter, mix sugar, flour, vanilla sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the melted butter to the flour mixture and mix.
Add the eggs one by one and mix until smooth.
Add the almond flakes and mix carefully so as not to break the almond flakes.
Place 9 teaspoons of dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and leave large gaps between the cookies, as they will spread during baking.
Bake at 200 degrees C for 5-6 minutes until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, place the cookies on a rolling pin or empty bottle and press them slightly to form a curve.
Let the cookies cool and store them in an airtight container.
Ready!!

Put about half a tablespoon of the mixture into the pan, leaving quite large gaps, because the cookies will spread easily.
