Crispy Wafer Rolls (Tuile Cookies)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Confectioners Sugar sifted
- 2 Egg Whites
- 4 tablespoons Butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Cocoa Powder optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 2 sheet pans with silicone sheet or parchment paper
- In a bowl, place the flour and confectioners sugar. Mix until combined
- Slowly add the egg whites, vanilla, and butter and mix with a whisk
- The batter should be thick, like a pancake batter
- In a smaller bowl, place the cocoa powder. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter and mix until evenly combined.
- Place the chocolate batter in a piping bag fitted with a small round tip and set aside
- Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons separated mounds of the white batter on the sheet pan. I was able to fit 4 or 5 in mine
- White a small spatula or your index finger spread the batter thinly in a circular motion. Pipe the chocolate batter on top, use any design you may like: stripes, zigzag, squiggly lines, etc
- Bake for 5-9 minutes (depending on your oven and the thickness you made the circles) until the outer edges of the tuiles start to turn brown
- Remove them quickly from the oven and flip them over. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, roll them into a cigar, slide the cigar off and continue with the other ones. They will harden as they cool.
- Let the tuiles completely cool on a cookie sheet and serve with your favorite ice cream
- Store in a tight proof container at room temperature
- Enjoy with ice cream
