Too Easy Chocolate Tuiles

Tuiles (pronounced tweel) are thin and crisp cookies that can be shaped into bowls, rolls, cones, or draped over rolling pins to form the traditional tuile shape. Tuile is the French word for tile.

Chocolate Tuiles

1 Cup of Confectioner’s Sugar

1/4 Cup of Cocoa Powder

3/4 Cup of Flour

8 Tablespoons (1 stick) Melted Butter

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Grease 2 sheets or line them with parchment or silicone baking mat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites till foamy.
  4. Add the flour, confectioner’s sugar, and cocoa powder to the egg whites and stir to combine. Scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  5. Slowly add the melted butter and mix until just incorporated. The batter will be a very thick batter.
  6. Using a spoon or palette knife make 2-3 inch thin circles less than 1/8.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until firm and slightly darkened around the edges. While hot, transfer onto a rolling pin or shape into cones and bowls. The cookies are will cool and harden fast so work quickly!

Note: The thicker the tuile the chewier and more cake like texture the cookie will have. The thinner the tuile the crunchier the cookie will be.
