Tuile Bowls
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350F, with a rack in the middle.
- Put the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Mix on medium speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Mix in the egg whites, one at a time.
- Mix in the 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 the batter into a 7-inch circle, with the edges slightly thicker than the center.
- Repeat, making a second circle on the mat.
- Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the edges of the 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 the bottom down to flatten.
- Let stand in the bowl 30 seconds; remove.
- Repeat with the remaining cookie.
- If the cookies become too cool to shape, return them to oven for 20 seconds.
- Repeat, baking the remaining batter and forming it into bowls.
- If using just 1 baking sheet, let it cool before spreading the next batch of batter onto it.
