COOKIE TULIPS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet liner. Grease the outsides of 12 2-inch diameter baking glasses or small bowls.
- Mash the butter and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth, and mix in the flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the egg whites to make a smooth batter. Drop about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and use a spoon or spatula to spread the dough out into a very thin circle about 7 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are very lightly browned at the edges and the centers are set, 7 to 9 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't overbake. Pull the sheet from the oven, and immediately slip a spatula underneath each flat cookie; center and drape them over the greased glasses to harden into small wavy bowls. Allow to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool over their molds, beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth; mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Remove green tops and cores from 5 strawberries; place them into a small bowl, and mash to a juicy, slightly lumpy texture; mix the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold the whipped topping into the strawberry cream until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the strawberry cream into each cookie bowl, then top with a pretty fresh strawberry with green top. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container, and leftover cream in refrigerator.

TUILE BISCUIT
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Into a large bowl, sift together the flour and sugar.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg whites and butter together. Slowly add to dry ingredients. Mix so all lumps are removed.
- Using a silicone mat, lay out a stencil (whatever shape you desire), and spread batter with a pallet knife so the batter is the same thickness as the stencil.
- Place in the freezer for 3 to 4 minutes and remove. Run a knife around the inside edge of the stencil, making sure not to alter the shape of the biscuit.
- Bake on a sheet pan for 4 to 6 minutes until lightly brown around the edges.
- Remove from the sheet pan with a metal spatula, as biscuit will continue to bake on hot pan. Serve.
ROLLED TUILLE COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. After it melts, continue to cook the butter, watching carefully. It will foam and subside, and then separate into golden butterfat and cloudy white milk solids. The milk solids will begin to brown. When they are lightly browned and the butter smells nutty and toasted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites and sugar until stiff and glossy. Add the flour, vanilla, and brown butter and mix at low speed until blended. The batter will become thicker as the egg whites lose volume.
- Using an offset spatula, an icing spatula, or the back of a spoon, spread the batter in circles to form thin disks on silicone baking mat-lined baking sheets. (You may only fit 6 or 8 per pan.) The batter should be so thin that you can see the pan through it.
- Bake until light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. When the cookies come out of the oven, immediately lift them off the sheet pan with your fingers or a spatula and roll them up on a wooden spoon handle; then slide them off.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. The batter will probably start to stiffen up as the butter cools; you can reheat it in the microwave, or set the bowl over hot water to keep the batter warm.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together cream and jam until well combined; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, flour, and salt; make a well in the center. Add butter, egg whites, and reserved cream mixture. Stir until well combined. Add food coloring, one drop at a time, stirring after each addition to combine. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with nonstick baking mats (such as Silpats).
- Place template ( flower or circle) on baking sheet. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into center of template. Using an offset spatula, spread batter over template into a very thin layer; remove template. Repeat process three times. Bake just until brown around edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
- When cookies come out of the oven, use a long offset spatula to quickly transfer cookies, one at a time, to a work surface; gently form into desired shapes; transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Repeat process with remaining three cookies. If they harden too quickly, return baking sheet to oven for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter. Cookies can be stored between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Using a whisk, or a stand mixer with the paddle on low speed, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla until a paste is formed.
- Gradually add the egg whites as you keep stirring.
- Add the flour in small batches until you have a smooth batter; be careful not to mix too much.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. You may leave it in the fridge for up to a week, just take it out 30 minutes before using.
- Line a baking sheet with a liner or spray with a non-stick spray or butter. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to help the batter spread more easily.
- Using either a stencil or a piping bag, put the batter onto the cookie sheet in your desired shape. Make sure the batter is thin on the sheet. If you want contrasting colors, set aside a small portion of the batter and color it with cocoa or a food coloring and pipe it on for decoration.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Immediately release from the cookie sheet and mold into your desired shape. The cookies must be molded while still warm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees; with rack in middle. Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in egg whites, 1 at a time. Mix in flour, salt, and vanilla.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Spoon 2 tablespoons batter onto the baking mat. Using an offset spatula, spread batter into a 7-inch circle, with the edges slightly thicker than the center. Repeat, making a second circle on the mat.
- Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until edges of cookies turn golden, about 9 minutes. Using a small spatula, immediately transfer 1 cookie to a small bowl (about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Gently mold the warm cookie to the shape of the bowl, pressing bottom down to flatten. Let stand in bowl 30 seconds; remove. Repeat with remaining cookie. If cookies become too cool to shape, return them to oven for 20 seconds. Repeat, baking remaining batter and forming into bowls. If using just 1 baking sheet, let it cool before spreading the next batch of batter onto it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Scatter the almonds on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until lightly browned, about seven minutes, checking carefully to make sure they don't burn. Put two cups of the almonds in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Put the remaining half a cup of almonds into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly. Add the blended almonds to the mixing bowl. Add the sugar, eggs and flour and stir to blend. Start stirring with a wooden spoon while gradually adding the melted butter. Refrigerate for an hour or longer.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- You may bake these cookies on a nonstick baking sheet or a regular baking sheet lined with a cut-out sheet of parchment paper.
- For each cookie, scoop about a quarter cup of the batter at intervals of about three inches on the baking sheet. You should bake one batch of, perhaps, six cookies at a time.
- Dip the tines of a table fork in water and press down over the top of each cookie to flatten it into a circle measuring about five inches in diameter.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake 15 minutes.
- Let cool two to three minutes, but work quickly. You must not let the cookies stand too long or they will harden or become too firm to be molded. While the cookies are still soft and warm, remove them by sliding a pancake turner under each. The moment each is removed, transfer it into an oval-shaped bread pan or over the side of a wine bottle to give each a round, half-moon shape.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
- Make sure your butter is cold. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies spread less and keep their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Tuile cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, delicate, and full of flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these cookies at home and impress your friends and family.
