Tuiles are a light and crispy French cookie that is shaped over the edge of a glass or cup while still warm to obtain a shape reminiscent of a curved tile or roof tile. These Vanilla or Chocolate Tuiles are a twist on the traditional recipe, adding a touch of sweetness with either vanilla or chocolate. They are the perfect accompaniment to coffee or tea, and can be enjoyed as a light snack or as a dessert after a meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350° F.
2.	In a bowl, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together until smooth.
3.	Mix in the egg whites and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4.	Sift the cake flour over the mixture and fold gently until fully incorporated.
5.	Divide the batter into two equal portions.
6.	Add the melted chocolate to one portion and mix until evenly combined.
7.	Using a teaspoon, drop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading each drop into a thin layer using the back of the spoon.
8.	Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
9.	Remove from oven and shape the tuiles while still warm by gently lifting them off the parchment paper with a spatula and pressing them over the edge of a glass or cup.
