Anise Tuiles
Yield: about 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3/4 teaspoon anise extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, with wire whisk, beat egg whites, confectioners' sugar and flour until blended and smooth.
- Beat in melted butter, anise extract, and salt.
- Drop 1 heaping teaspoon mixture onto cookie sheet.
- Repeat to make 3 more cookies, about 3 inches apart.
- With small spatula, spread each cookie to a 3 inch round. Do not place more than 4 on the cookie sheet because, after baking, cookies must be shaped quickly before hardening.
- Bake cookies for 5 to 7 minutes until edges are golden.
- With a pancake turner, quickly remove 1 cookie to wire rack.
- With hands, gently shape warm cookie to flute edges.
- Repeat with remaining cookies. If cookies become too hard to shape, return cookies sheet to oven to soften cookies slightly.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Batter will become slightly thicker upon standing.
- Store in tightly covered container.
