Striped Tuile Rolls
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 drops red food coloring
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- (You can also use parchment paper.)
- Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg whites and beat until incorporated.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour and beat until just incorporated.
- Transfer 1 tablespoon of the batter to a small bowl and stir in the red food coloring.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the plain batter onto the silcone mat; use an offset spatula to spread the batter into a very thin oval, about 4 by 6 inches.
- Repeat to make 3 more ovals on the mat.
- Dip a toothpick into the red batter and drag it diagonally across the ovals to make thin red stripes.
- Bake until the cookies are set and the edges are just golden, about 7 minutes.
- Let cool 45 seconds, then immediately loosen the cookies from the baking sheet with an offset spatula and roll each one lengthwise around a chopstick or the handle of a thin wooden spoon to make a tube.
- Pull out the chopstick and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- (You'll need to work quickly or the cookies will harden; if they do, return to the oven briefly to soften.)
- Repeat with the remaining batter, letting the baking sheet cool completely between batches.
