Almond Tuiles

These crispy almond cookies are not too sweet, and quite delicious. After looking at a bunch of different recipes, I tweaked this one to make the perfect crispy tuile.

Making the batter is pretty simple. Just stir together the flour and sugar, and add in the egg whites and salt. Stir in the almonds and melted butter. 

Don't forget to put the batter in the fridge to chill for an hour! This step is extremely important and helps the cookie achieve its final, crispy texture. Don't skip it!
