Almond Pistachio Tuiles (gluten-free)

Almond Pistachio Tuiles

Light, crisp and mildly sweet.  These almond pistachio tuiles are dangerously addictive.  Just like potato chips, you can’t eat just one.

All you need is one small bowl.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy these were to make.  The amount of batter seemed so little but it was enough to make 12 cookies.

The recipe calls for an egg white at room temperature.  I forgot to take an egg out of the fridge when I began so I submerged it in a bowl of hot tap water for 3-5 minutes.  This worked like a charm.

The toughest part is you need to spread the batter out as thinly as possible on the parchment paper prior to baking.  It took me three tries to get the results I wanted.  I eventually found a drinking glass with a flat bottom.  I squished the batter down and rotated until the batter was in a nice circle.  Then I used a knife to clean up around the edges.  To make them perfectly sized, you can create a stencil out of cardboard or plastic and cut out a circle.  Then using a spatula spread out the batter as thinly as possible.  Using a simple butter knife to spread it out works as well.

I loved that it only took about 30 minutes to make.  10 minutes to make the batter, 10 minutes to spread them out on the baking sheet and another 10 minutes to bake.

These slim, delicate and guilt-free cookies are simple, fast and so delicious.  Perfect for an afternoon treat.
