Yield Makes about 6 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 rounded tablespoons finely grated fresh lemon zest (from 4 lemons)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Special Equipment
a nonstick bakeware liner such as Silpat; a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain tip; a small offset spatula; a 1 1/2- to 2-inch diameter rolling pin or wooden dowel

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner.
  • Grind sugar and zest in a food processor, pulsing 4 or 5 times, until combined well, then transfer to a bowl. Add butter and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then add egg whites and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add flour and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer batter to pastry bag and pipe 12 (3-inch-long) lines, about 1 inch apart, on baking sheet. (Be careful not to squeeze bag too hard - lines should only be 1/4 inch wide.)
  • Bake tuiles until edges begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Let tuiles stand on baking sheet 20 seconds (just long enough to allow them to firm up slightly), then transfer with offset spatula to rolling pin (stabilized on a cooling rack), draping them diagonally and wiping spatula clean before transferring next cookie. (If cookies become too crisp to drape, put them back in oven for a few seconds to soften.) Make more tuiles in same manner, using a cool baking sheet and wiping nonstick liner clean with paper towels between batches.

These tuiles are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuiles didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like soft cookies.

These tuiles are a bit too fragile for my taste. I had a hard time getting them off the baking sheet without breaking them.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these tuiles were surprisingly good! The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I had some trouble getting the tuiles to spread out thinly. They ended up being a bit thick and chewy.
