Vanilla or Chocolate Tuiles
For cookies made with vanilla or chocolate frosting, use this tuile recipe. The buttery, thin cookies are formed while they are still hot. You can make dessert cups out of them or use them as an ice cream garnish.
Beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
Beat in the egg whites one at a time.
Beat in the vanilla.
Lower the speed and add flour or flour-cocoa mixture (see Cook’s Note) and mix until just combined.
Do not overmix.
Cover bowl and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
