One of my favorite cookies! Nice to nibble with coffee or tea. They make good garnish to custard and ice cream desserts too.

The recipe? Same as the Tuile!
1# Butter
1# Sugar
1# Egg Whites
1# Sifted Flour
Pinch of Salt
Method: Cream, Add whites in increments. Pulse the paddle briefly after adding the flour

Using a round #3 or #4 tip, pipe batter out a silpat and bake at 350 for 12 minutes, rotate every 4 to 6 minutes for even browning.

Slide metal spatula immediately after they come out of the oven, otherwise, they crisp up and will break when released from the silpat. Sprinkle powdered sugar when cooling. Allow to cool at room temp then store in airtight containers.

Variations: Sprinkle with nuts, sprinkle with coco nibs, flavor with chocolate (replace 20% of the flour with coco powder.

By the way, batter works best at room temp!
