Almond Tuiles (Tuiles Aux Amandes)

• Scant ½ cup slivered almonds
• 2 egg whites
• Generous ½ cup sugar
• 1 Tsp vanilla
• 3 ½ Tbs butter – melted and cooled
• 1 pinch of salt
• Scant 2/3 cup flour

*Cooking club doubled the recipe.

Above is original info as stated in cookbook. Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix all ingredients together. Spread half-tablespoons of the dough, well spaced out, in small rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Shortly after they come out of the oven, and while they are still hot, drape the cookies over a lightly oiled bottle, rolling pin or other cylindrical object. Once cold and set, place the tuiles in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
