Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick silicone baking mats. Arrange four 3/4-cup custard cups upside down on work surface.
- Stir butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until nutty brown and milk solids are dark brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Carefully pour browned butter into small bowl and cool slightly.
- Combine egg whites, sugar, five-spice powder, and salt in medium bowl; whisk until mixture is foamy, about 1 minute. Add warm browned butter, leaving dark brown milk solids behind in bowl; whisk until blended. Whisk in vanilla. Add flour and whisk until blended and smooth.
- Drop batter by scant tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 4 inches apart (about 4 per sheet). Using small offset spatula, spread each to 5-inch round (batter will be spread very thin). Sprinkle generous 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped walnuts over each.
- Bake tuiles, 1 sheet at a time, until evenly golden all over, about 11 minutes. Working quickly and using wide metal spatula, carefully lift each tuile from sheet and immediately drape over custard cup and press to mold to cup, making cookie bowls. Cool until tuiles are set. Carefully remove tuiles from cups and place on rack to cool completely. Repeat procedure with batter and walnuts on cool baking sheets, making total of 12 cookie bowls (to allow for any breakage). For additional cookies, if desired, drop remaining batter onto baking sheets by teaspoonfuls, spacing 2 inches apart, and bake until evenly golden. Transfer to rack and cool. DO AHEAD: Cookie bowls and cookies can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
- *A spice blend that usually contains ground fennel seeds, Szechuan peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, and cloves; available in the spice section of most supermarkets.

Everyone in my family loves this cookie, they're like little pecan pies, and you can make them with pecans instead of walnuts if you choose. You will need a mini muffin pan for this recipe.

Steps:
- Trace a 6 1/2-inch circle onto a large, flexible plastic lid, such as one from a coffee can. Using scissors, cut lip from lid. With utility knife, cut out circle shape to make stencil.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in egg whites, one at a time. Add flour, and beat to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silpat (French nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper. Place stencil on mat. Using an offset spatula, spread a thin layer of batter over stencil. Gently remove stencil. Repeat, making one more circle. Bake until golden around edges, about 4 minutes. Working quickly while tuiles are still warm, use a spatula to remove from baking sheet, and drape each cookie over a coffee cup. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and gently press to help form cup shape. If cookies cool before shaping, return pan to oven for about 20 seconds. Spread and bake remaining batter.
Tips:
- Always use unsalted butter to make spiced brown butter. This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the final product.
- When making spiced brown butter, keep a close eye on it and stir constantly. The butter can burn easily if you are not careful.
- If you are making the tuile cups ahead of time, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To fill the tuile cups, you can use any type of filling you like. Some popular choices include ice cream, mousse, and fruit.
Conclusion:
Spiced brown butter and walnut tuile cups are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the nutty, buttery flavor of the tuile cups and the sweet, spicy filling is sure to please everyone. With a little planning, these cups can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy hosts and hostesses.
